Holly Springs, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Holly Springs town is a small city in North Carolina, with 43,429 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #25 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 36.3 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 Holly Springs town earn a median of $132,435 a year, 68.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 116% 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 4.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Holly Springs town is valued at $485,500, 60% above the national figure and 121% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,858 a month, 32.1% above the national figure, or roughly $22,296 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 3.7×, 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
