What ZIP 23842 actually tells you, and what it doesn't
The 23842 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 6,956 and a median household income of $85,375. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.
The median home is priced at about 2.9 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.
Renting takes an unusually small bite of local income -- about 14% of median household income at the median rent, in the lowest quarter of the 25,890 areas reporting both.
The median age of 43.6 sits above the midpoint of reporting areas, the pattern of a settled population where more residents are past child-rearing than entering it.
ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
