Murraysville CDP, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Murraysville CDP is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 17,307 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #62 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 37.1 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 Murraysville CDP earn a median of $75,720 a year, 3.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Murraysville CDP is valued at $281,600, 7.2% below the national figure and 28% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,667 a month, 18.6% above the national figure, or roughly $20,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.4% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
