Orange town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Orange town is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 5,000 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #202 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 34.9 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 Orange town earn a median of $68,833 a year, 12.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 15.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orange town is valued at $252,800, 16.7% below the national figure and 13% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,070 a month, 23.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
