Mallow CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mallow CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 511 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #471 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 44.6 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 Mallow CDP earn a median of $51,979 a year, 33.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% below 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 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mallow CDP is valued at $96,700, 68.1% below the national figure and 67% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $719 a month, 48.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 80.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
