Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Virginia

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in Virginia's southwestern Appalachian region and parts of the rural Southside consistently register median ages above 50, with several areas reaching into the upper 50s and 60, reflecting aging populations in economically declining rural communities. In sharp contrast, the Northern Virginia corridor and areas surrounding college towns like Blacksburg, Charlottesville, and Williamsburg display notably lower median ages, often in the low-to-mid 20s, driven by student populations and younger professional demographics. The Hampton Roads metro area and Richmond suburbs show moderate median ages generally in the 35–45 range, forming a transitional band between the younger urban cores and the older rural periphery.
