Strasburg town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Strasburg town is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 7,162 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #167 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 37.9 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 Strasburg town earn a median of $59,614 a year, 24.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Strasburg town is valued at $247,300, 18.5% below the national figure and 15% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $997 a month, 29.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
