Mechanicsburg, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Mechanicsburg CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 54 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #655 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 4% of them. The median age here is 46.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Mechanicsburg CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mechanicsburg CDP is valued at $131,700, 56.6% below the national figure and 55% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. 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.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Mechanicsburg CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
