Hollins CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hollins CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 17,005 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #80 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 44 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hollins CDP earn a median of $73,588 a year, 6.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hollins CDP is valued at $227,900, 24.9% below the national figure and 22% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,113 a month, 20.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
