Cascades CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cascades CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 12,489 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #108 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Cascades CDP earn a median of $166,023 a year, 111.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 100% 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 2.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cascades CDP is valued at $617,100, 103.4% above the national figure and 112% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,552 a month, 81.5% above the national figure, or roughly $30,624 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
