Ashburn CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Ashburn CDP is a small city in Virginia, with 45,551 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #21 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 41.3 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 Ashburn CDP earn a median of $152,094 a year, 93.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 83% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Ashburn CDP is valued at $659,000, 117.2% above the national figure and 126% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,397 a month, 70.5% above the national figure, or roughly $28,764 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
