Shawsville CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Shawsville CDP is a small town in Virginia, with 1,725 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #302 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Shawsville CDP earn a median of $70,469 a year, 10.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 11.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shawsville CDP is valued at $84,300, 72.2% below the national figure and 71% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,115 a month, 20.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,380 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 1.2×, 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. 84% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.
