Keysville town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Keysville town is a very small community in Virginia, with 736 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #426 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 39.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Keysville town earn a median of $20,417 a year, 74% below the national figure of $78,538 and 75% below 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 35.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Keysville town is valued at $150,000, 50.6% below the national figure and 49% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $681 a month, 51.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 40% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 7.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 30.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Home values sit at 7.3× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. With 736 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Keysville town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
