Pineville town, NC in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pineville town is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 10,780 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #91 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 Pineville town earn a median of $64,257 a year, 18.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pineville town is valued at $344,700, 13.6% above the national figure and 57% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,467 a month, 4.3% above the national figure, or roughly $17,604 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.4% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 47.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
