Idylwood CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Idylwood CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 17,469 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #75 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 37.6 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 Idylwood CDP earn a median of $118,443 a year, 50.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% 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 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Idylwood CDP is valued at $708,400, 133.5% above the national figure and 143% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,022 a month, 43.8% above the national figure, or roughly $24,264 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54.5% 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.
