Bull Run (Prince William Co.), VA population, income and ZIP codes

Bull Run CDP (Prince William County) is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 16,688 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #82 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Bull Run CDP (Prince William County) earn a median of $86,487 a year, 10.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bull Run CDP (Prince William County) is valued at $378,800, 24.9% above the national figure and 30% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,912 a month, 36% above the national figure, or roughly $22,944 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 35.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

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.
