ZIP 23015 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 23015 is a small town in Hanover County, Virginia, with 4,384 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #383 of 903 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 44.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 ZIP 23015 earn a median of $109,648 a year, 39.6% above the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 23015 is valued at $430,800, 42% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 90.3% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 23015 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

Reading ZIP 23015 in context

How 23015 sits inside Hanover County and Virginia.

ZIP 23015 is tabulated inside Hanover County, Virginia, one of 9 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 903 across Virginia. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 23015 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 23015 reports a median household income of $109,648, 11% above the $98,682 county median, and 51% above the $72,517 typical VA ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $430,800, 6% above the county figure and 68% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Virginia charges 4.3% statewide, and local governments overlapping 23015 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 23015 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
