Meadowbrook CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Meadowbrook CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 20,383 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #65 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 36.4 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 Meadowbrook CDP earn a median of $79,750 a year, 1.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Meadowbrook CDP is valued at $262,600, 13.4% below the national figure and 10% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,461 a month, 3.9% above the national figure, or roughly $17,532 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.4% 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.
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.
