Reidsville, NC population, income and ZIP codes

Reidsville city is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 14,547 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #74 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 41.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Reidsville city earn a median of $42,702 a year, 45.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below 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 24.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Reidsville city is valued at $139,000, 54.2% below the national figure and 37% below the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $773 a month, 45% below the national figure, or roughly $9,276 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
