The short answer
Hildebran has a median build year of 1969 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035.
Hildebran has 666 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1969 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands.

We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Hildebran sits 18 years older than the NC median of 1987. Of the 190 NC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 97% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 177th.
What 1969 tells you about the pipe in Hildebran
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.
Median household income across Hildebran ZIP codes is $58,190, 11% below the NC median of $65,713.

In Hildebran, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
