Ridgeway town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ridgeway town is a small town in Virginia, with 1,082 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #375 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 35.4 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 Ridgeway town earn a median of $60,938 a year, 22.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ridgeway town is valued at $147,400, 51.4% below the national figure and 49% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $745 a month, 47% below the national figure, or roughly $8,940 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 2.4×, 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. 79.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
