Valley Falls, RI population, income and ZIP codes

Valley Falls CDP is a mid-size town in Rhode Island, with 12,370 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #10 of 36 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Valley Falls CDP earn a median of $93,653 a year, 19.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $93,653 median for the 28 Rhode Island cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Valley Falls CDP is valued at $347,900, 14.7% above the national figure and 3% below the $358,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,160 a month, 17.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
