Groveton CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Groveton CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 13,563 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #99 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Groveton CDP earn a median of $109,665 a year, 39.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% above 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 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Groveton CDP is valued at $568,900, 87.5% above the national figure and 95% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,829 a month, 30.1% above the national figure, or roughly $21,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
