ZIP 24515 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 24515 is a mid-size town in Lynchburg city, Virginia, with 6,081 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #314 of 903 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 19.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 24515 earn a median of not published a year. 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 Poverty reaches an unpublished share of residents here.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 24515 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The homeownership rate is not published. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 19.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent, poverty rate for ZIP 24515 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.
