Rockingham ZIP codes — Rockingham County, Virginia

Rockingham County is a small city in Virginia, with 84,739 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 40.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Rockingham County earn a median of $78,468 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538. 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 9.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rockingham County is valued at $287,900, 5.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,125 a month, 20% below the national figure, or roughly $13,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.2% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
