Clifton town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Clifton town is a very small community in Virginia, with 321 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #529 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 36.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Clifton town earn a median of $228,750 a year, 191.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 176% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clifton town is valued at $1,039,500, 242.6% above the national figure and 257% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 98.9% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 321 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Clifton town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Clifton town 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.
