Morrisville town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Morrisville town is a small city in North Carolina, with 30,471 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #35 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Morrisville town earn a median of $125,404 a year, 59.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 105% 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Morrisville town is valued at $481,800, 58.8% above the national figure and 119% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,785 a month, 27% above the national figure, or roughly $21,420 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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. 48.8% 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.
