What ZIP 23838 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 23838 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 16,947 and a median household income of $124,512. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
The median home is priced at about 3.2 times median household income, above the midpoint for reporting areas. A gap of this size usually means demand is being set by buyers whose income is not counted in this ZCTA -- commuters, second-home buyers, or investors.
At a median age of 48.2, 23838 falls in the oldest quarter of reporting areas. Retirement destinations and long-settled rural areas cluster here, and in both the labour-force measures below cover a smaller share of residents than they would in a younger area.
The ACS publishes no median rent for 23838. Those rows read "Not reported" below rather than zero; a suppressed estimate is not a measurement of nothing. Small resident counts are the usual reason the Bureau withholds one.
ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
