Buckingham Courthouse CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Buckingham Courthouse CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 253 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #556 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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.

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.
