Haymarket town, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Haymarket town is a small town in Virginia, with 1,591 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #312 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 38.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Haymarket town earn a median of $174,306 a year, 121.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 110% above 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 3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Haymarket town is valued at $563,600, 85.8% above the national figure and 93% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,221 a month, 58% above the national figure, or roughly $26,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.6% 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.
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.
