Baywood, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Baywood CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 719 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #427 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Baywood CDP earn a median of $30,500 a year, 61.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 63% below the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia 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 21.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Baywood CDP is valued at $93,300, 69.2% below the national figure and 68% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $731 a month, 48% below the national figure, or roughly $8,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 46.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 719 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Baywood CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
