Warrenton town, VA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Warrenton town is a mid-size town in Virginia, with 10,151 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #128 of 688 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 38.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Warrenton town earn a median of $80,441 a year, 2.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 3% 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Warrenton town is valued at $423,500, 39.6% above the national figure and 45% above the $291,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,512 a month, 7.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,144 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% 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 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.3% 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.
