Charles City, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Charles City CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 36 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #668 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 2% of them. The median age here is 54 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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.

Households in Charles City CDP earn a median of $211,875 a year, 169.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 155% 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 11.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Charles City CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 63.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

A median age of 54 puts Charles City CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 36 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Charles City CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Charles City CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
