New Castle, VA population, income and ZIP codes

New Castle town is a very small community in Virginia, with 124 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #611 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 24.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 New Castle town 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 16.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in New Castle town is valued at $283,300, 6.6% below the national figure and 3% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $820 a month, 41.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,840 across a full year. 47.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 24.6 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 124 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare New Castle town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income for New Castle town 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.
