Hampden-Sydney, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Hampden-Sydney CDP is a small town in Virginia, with 1,942 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #290 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 20.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Hampden-Sydney CDP earn a median of $148,846 a year, 89.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 79% 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 1.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hampden-Sydney CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. 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.

A median age of 20.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Hampden-Sydney CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
