Sugar Grove, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Sugar Grove CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 598 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #443 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 42.9 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 Sugar Grove CDP earn a median of $45,357 a year, 42.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% below the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sugar Grove CDP is valued at $57,200, 81.1% below the national figure and 80% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $919 a month, 34.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,028 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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 1.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 84.2% 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. 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.

With 598 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Sugar Grove CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
