Burke CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Burke CDP is a small city in Virginia, with 43,336 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #25 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 40.3 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 Burke CDP earn a median of $179,063 a year, 128% above the national figure of $78,538 and 116% 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 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Burke CDP is valued at $696,800, 129.7% above the national figure and 139% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,715 a month, 93.1% above the national figure, or roughly $32,580 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.6% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
