East Highland Park, VA population, income and ZIP codes

East Highland Park CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 16,071 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #88 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 41.1 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 East Highland Park CDP earn a median of $69,750 a year, 11.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below 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 12.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Highland Park CDP is valued at $210,500, 30.6% below the national figure and 28% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,238 a month, 11.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,856 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
