Hemby Bridge town, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hemby Bridge town is a small town in North Carolina, with 2,079 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #332 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 40.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Hemby Bridge town earn a median of $71,953 a year, 8.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above the $61,228 median for the 459 North Carolina cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 20% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hemby Bridge town is valued at $262,300, 13.5% below the national figure and 19% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,229 a month, 12.6% below the national figure, or roughly $14,748 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
