Stanardsville, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Stanardsville town is a very small community in Virginia, with 473 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #482 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 44.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Stanardsville town earn a median of $63,594 a year, 19% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Stanardsville town is valued at $258,900, 14.7% below the national figure and 11% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,004 a month, 28.6% below the national figure, or roughly $12,048 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46% 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.
