Highland Springs CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Highland Springs CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 15,091 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Highland Springs CDP earn a median of $56,931 a year, 27.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 16.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Highland Springs CDP is valued at $206,300, 32% below the national figure and 29% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,234 a month, 12.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
