Marshall, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Marshall CDP is a small town in Virginia, with 3,213 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #235 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Marshall CDP earn a median of $98,702 a year, 25.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 17.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Marshall CDP is valued at $411,700, 35.7% above the national figure and 41% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,947 a month, 38.5% above the national figure, or roughly $23,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 35.2% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

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.
