Gibsonville town, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Gibsonville town is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 9,289 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #102 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 41.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Gibsonville town earn a median of $105,981 a year, 34.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 73% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Gibsonville town is valued at $262,400, 13.5% below the national figure and 19% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $865 a month, 38.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.8% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
