Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: Wilmington
2026-09-27
🏆 Ranked #1 in Household Size — Wilmington, NC — ALEX Intelligence, 2024.
Hampstead leads North Carolina in average household size at 2.9 people, according to the latest U.S. Census data. This isn’t just a demographic curiosity — it’s a structural advantage in a market where space is scarce and affordability is critical.
How does this compare to other markets? These are often cited as high-density, high-demand areas — but in the Cape Fear region, the real edge is in deeper, more resilient living patterns.
