Great Falls, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Great Falls CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 14,854 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 46.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Great Falls CDP earn a median of $250,001 a year, 218.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 201% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Great Falls CDP is valued at $1,342,400, 342.5% above the national figure and 361% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,463 a month, 146.3% above the national figure, or roughly $41,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 95.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
