Gloucester Point CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gloucester Point CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 11,159 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #120 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 40.9 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 Gloucester Point CDP earn a median of $71,589 a year, 8.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gloucester Point CDP is valued at $286,500, 5.6% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,053 a month, 25.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.8% 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.
