Dallas town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dallas town is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 6,012 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Dallas town earn a median of $57,755 a year, 26.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 8.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dallas town is valued at $221,700, 26.9% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $794 a month, 43.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
