Savage Town, Virginia Demographics & Population 2026

A note before these figures: with a population of 175, Savage Town's ACS estimates come from a small number of survey responses and carry wide margins of error. Individual percentages below — particularly rates that round to 0% or 100% — are approximations, not precise measurements. See data.census.gov for the published margins of error.

Economy, Income & Housing

The ACS records no residents below the poverty line in Savage Town. In a community this small the estimate rests on very few survey responses, so it should be read as an absence of measurement rather than a measured absence of poverty. The survey records no unemployed residents in Savage Town, which reflects the size of the sample rather than a labor market without joblessness. Every occupied housing unit the survey reached in Savage Town was renter-occupied. At this sample size that indicates no owner-occupied homes were captured rather than that none exist.

Education

Nationally, 35.7% of adults hold at least a bachelor's degree. No surveyed resident aged 25 or older reported leaving school before earning a high school diploma, though a rate of exactly 100% reflects the limits of a small sample.
