This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Halifax through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 294 with a margin of error of plus or minus 172, which is 58.5 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Halifax County, not Halifax
Halifax County context, not Halifax figures
These are Halifax County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Halifax measurements.
- Establishments in Halifax County934
- Employment at those establishments, Halifax County12,340
- Covered employment, Halifax County15,156
- Average annual pay, Halifax County$47,039
- Average weekly wage, Halifax County$905
- Housing units permitted, Halifax County55
- Of those, single family, Halifax County55
- County product, 2024, Halifax County$1,936,341,000
- County product change over the prior year, Halifax County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Halifax County$46,453
Every figure in this section is published for Halifax County as a whole and is not a measurement of Halifax. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Halifax questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Halifax, North Carolina?
294, in 173 households. Halifax town covers 0.46 square miles of land, which is 643 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

What is the median household income in Halifax?
$63,686. Median gross rent is $733 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
Is Halifax in the National Flood Insurance Program?
It is listed but not shown as participating. Halifax appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370415, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Halifax figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Halifax County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Halifax.
Is zoning published for Halifax?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
