Hutchison, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Hutchison CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 6,936 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #171 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 28.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Hutchison CDP earn a median of $105,125 a year, 33.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 27% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hutchison CDP is valued at $476,400, 57% above the national figure and 64% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,305 a month, 63.9% above the national figure, or roughly $27,660 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.3% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 45.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 28.8 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. 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.

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.
