Bealeton CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bealeton CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 5,193 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #196 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 34.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Bealeton CDP earn a median of $103,365 a year, 31.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 25% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bealeton CDP is valued at $361,600, 19.2% above the national figure and 24% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,531 a month, 8.9% above the national figure, or roughly $18,372 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
