Chantilly CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Chantilly CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 23,744 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #49 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Chantilly CDP earn a median of $143,786 a year, 83.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 73% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Chantilly CDP is valued at $633,900, 108.9% above the national figure and 118% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,260 a month, 60.7% above the national figure, or roughly $27,120 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 80.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
