Owning vs renting — Woodbridge

Property tax · $390/mo 0.94% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Prince William County, VA
Insurance & upkeep · $532/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Woodbridge is a community in Prince William County with a younger population than much of the country, and a mix of owners and renters, with fewer homes lived in by their owners than across the county. Household incomes run below the county's, though still comfortable by national standards, and typical home values and rents are on the high side. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers are hot, with rain spread through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in the building trades and in shops. Among the larger workplaces in Woodbridge are Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, the Patent and Trademark Office and Dominion Energy. Commutes are long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Woodbridge sits within a longer drive of Washington's best-known sights. The Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial are protected areas on the National Mall, itself a park, and the Smithsonian Institution runs a number of museums there, including the National Museum of Natural History. Each is a longer drive away, so a day in the city takes some planning.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Woodbridge’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Prince William County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
