Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Virginia

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Virginia zip codes, particularly those in the Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Arlington area, exhibit the highest median monthly rents in the state, with several zones exceeding $2,250 and clustering in bright yellow tones indicative of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan spillover effect. In stark contrast, the southwestern and southside regions of Virginia display predominantly deep purple shading, reflecting median rents below $750—often half or less of what renters pay in the northern corridor. A modest mid-range band of teal and green tones runs through the central Piedmont and parts of the Hampton Roads area, suggesting transitional affordability zones between the state's two economic extremes.
