Laurel Hill CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Laurel Hill CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 7,551 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #161 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 40 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 Laurel Hill CDP earn a median of $139,803 a year, 78% above the national figure of $78,538 and 68% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Laurel Hill CDP is valued at $625,900, 106.3% above the national figure and 115% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,335 a month, 66.1% above the national figure, or roughly $28,020 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
