McKenney, VA population, income and ZIP codes

McKenney town is a very small community in Virginia, with 569 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #452 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 34% 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 McKenney town earn a median of $49,821 a year, 36.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 38.3% 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 McKenney town is valued at $204,200, 32.7% below the national figure and 30% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,033 a month, 26.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,396 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.9% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
