Tuckahoe CDP, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tuckahoe CDP is a small city in Virginia, with 48,610 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 39.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Tuckahoe CDP earn a median of $96,188 a year, 22.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above the $82,986 median for the 383 Virginia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Tuckahoe CDP is valued at $442,200, 45.7% above the national figure and 52% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,479 a month, 5.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,748 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
