Fishersville, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Fishersville CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 9,546 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 41.2 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 Fishersville CDP earn a median of $81,190 a year, 3.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fishersville CDP is valued at $322,700, 6.4% above the national figure and 11% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,389 a month, 1.2% below the national figure, or roughly $16,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.4% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
