Lake Ridge CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lake Ridge CDP is a small city in Virginia, with 45,007 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #23 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 37.4 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 Lake Ridge CDP earn a median of $120,844 a year, 53.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 46% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Ridge CDP is valued at $452,800, 49.2% above the national figure and 55% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,011 a month, 43% above the national figure, or roughly $24,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
