Vienna town, VA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Vienna town is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 16,369 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #86 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 41.2 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 Vienna town earn a median of $223,571 a year, 184.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 169% above 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Vienna town is valued at $961,100, 216.8% above the national figure and 230% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,430 a month, 72.8% above the national figure, or roughly $29,160 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 82.9% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
