McAdenville town, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
McAdenville town is a small town in North Carolina, with 1,139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #430 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 41.4 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 McAdenville town earn a median of $117,411 a year, 49.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 92% 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in McAdenville town is valued at $350,900, 15.7% above the national figure and 60% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,227 a month, 12.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.5% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.5% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
