Mount Jackson, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Jackson town is a small town in Virginia, with 2,048 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #285 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Mount Jackson town earn a median of $55,521 a year, 29.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Jackson town is valued at $170,300, 43.9% below the national figure and 42% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $966 a month, 31.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,592 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
