Crewe town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Crewe town is a small town in Virginia, with 2,795 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #251 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Crewe town earn a median of $60,214 a year, 23.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 16.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crewe town is valued at $135,800, 55.2% below the national figure and 53% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $956 a month, 32% below the national figure, or roughly $11,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 59.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
