Port Royal, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Port Royal town is a very small community in Virginia, with 93 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #628 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 33.1 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 Port Royal town earn a median of $72,813 a year, 7.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Port Royal town is valued at $170,000, 44% below the national figure and 42% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,732 a month, 23.2% above the national figure, or roughly $20,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.5% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 39% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 93 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Port Royal town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
