Spotsylvania Courthouse CDP, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Spotsylvania Courthouse CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 6,793 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #173 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 32.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Spotsylvania Courthouse CDP earn a median of $85,321 a year, 8.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Spotsylvania Courthouse CDP is valued at $366,900, 20.9% above the national figure and 26% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,515 a month, 7.8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.8% 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.

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.
