Belmont CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Belmont CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 9,525 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #132 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Belmont CDP earn a median of $232,879 a year, 196.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 181% 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 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Belmont CDP is valued at $807,100, 166% above the national figure and 177% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,853 a month, 102.9% above the national figure, or roughly $34,236 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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. 90.2% 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.
