Wesley Chapel village, NC in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wesley Chapel village is a mid-size town in North Carolina, with 8,923 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 777 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Wesley Chapel village earn a median of $129,962 a year, 65.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 112% 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 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wesley Chapel village is valued at $493,900, 62.8% above the national figure and 125% above the $219,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,727 a month, 94% above the national figure, or roughly $32,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.2% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 98.4% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
