Tacoma, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Tacoma CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #606 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 47.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Tacoma CDP earn a median of $46,313 a year, 41% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tacoma CDP is valued at $109,500, 63.9% below the national figure and 62% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 67.2% 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.

With 141 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Tacoma CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Tacoma CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
