Vansant, VA population, income and ZIP codes

Vansant CDP is a very small community in Virginia, with 367 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #515 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Vansant CDP earn a median of $38,333 a year, 51.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 54% 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 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vansant CDP is valued at $97,400, 67.9% below the national figure and 67% below the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $696 a month, 50.5% below the national figure, or roughly $8,352 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 53.7% 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.

With 367 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Vansant 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.
