Small population: 16,798 residents. These figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year estimates, which carry a wide margin of error for places under 20,000 people. Read each value as an approximate range, and treat year-over-year changes as indicative rather than exact. A small shift can reflect survey sampling, not a real change on the ground.

Cost-of-living adjustment uses the BEA all-items regional price parity for Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, 108.9 against a national average of 100 (2024). BEA publishes regional price parity at state and metropolitan level only; there is no county figure, so the metro index stands in for Manassas Park city and the adjusted median is an approximation. Per capita and mean household income above are nominal and carry no adjustment.

Key Takeaways
- Income premium: Households earn well above the national median, supporting strong retail and housing markets.
- Cost of living erodes income: Local prices run 8.9% above the national average, so the nominal median of $103,250 is worth $94,812 at national average prices. BEA publishes price parity at metro level, not county level.
- Talent gap: Bachelor's-or-higher attainment trails the national average by 8.8 pts, relevant for advanced-services attraction strategy.

30% of monthly median renter household income (~$2,371/mo, from a renter median of $94,828) · rents above this line are typically considered cost-burdened.
Measured: 47.8% of renter households already pay 30% or more of income on rent, and 17.3% pay 50% or more.
Key Takeaways
- In line with national: Home value to income ratio of 3.8x sits near the ~4.1x national average; affordability is neither a clear advantage nor a recruitment friction.
- Affordable rent tiers: 3 of 5 HUD Fair Market Rent bedroom sizes sit below what a household on the median renter income of $94,828 can pay without cost burden (~$2,371/mo), and 47.8% of renter households are measured as cost-burdened.
