Front Royal, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Front Royal town is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 15,152 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #91 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 37.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Front Royal town earn a median of $64,025 a year, 18.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Front Royal town is valued at $284,900, 6.1% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,133 a month, 19.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 58.5% 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.

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.
