The short answer
The median build year in Mocksville is 1988, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.
Sources: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035; normal and low ranges as published by Grundfos in its homeowner guide to low water pressure.
Mocksville has 9,782 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1988 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 1988 tells you about the pipe in Mocksville
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
