Virginia,
by the numbers.
A high-level rental-market baseline from official Census and FHFA data. Use it to compare areas before underwriting a specific property.
ACS values are estimates for 2020–2024. FHFA values are seasonally adjusted state index changes for the latest published quarter at retrieval, not a current home price. The insurance figure is the statewide average HO-3 owner-occupied premium from the NAIC 2023 report. These are not listings, asking rents, property-specific tax or insurance quotes, or investment recommendations. Sources and limitations.
