Bon Air, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Bon Air CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 17,302 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #78 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 42 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 Bon Air CDP earn a median of $97,620 a year, 24.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bon Air CDP is valued at $329,200, 8.5% above the national figure and 13% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,731 a month, 23.1% above the national figure, or roughly $20,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
