Stafford Courthouse, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Stafford Courthouse CDP is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 5,780 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #186 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Stafford Courthouse CDP earn a median of $97,030 a year, 23.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Stafford Courthouse CDP is valued at $564,800, 86.2% above the national figure and 94% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,947 a month, 38.5% above the national figure, or roughly $23,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.1% 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 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 47.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
