Skyland Estates, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Skyland Estates CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 607 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #439 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 52.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Skyland Estates CDP earn a median of $94,375 a year, 20.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above 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 1.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Skyland Estates CDP is valued at $279,800, 7.8% below the national figure and 4% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% 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. 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 52.7 puts Skyland Estates CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 607 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Skyland Estates CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Skyland Estates CDP 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.
