How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Charlottesville, VA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Charlottesville compares. Among the 100 largest places in Virginia, Charlottesville is #23 by population, #4 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #86 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #77 for household income (#1 = highest). Its county, Charlottesville City, is #13 of 133 counties for average pay ($71,984).

The place in numbers

Charlottesville has 45,437 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.5% of the population of Virginia. It covers 10 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 4,435 people per square mile. The median age is 33.1, 15% younger than the state median (33.1 against 39.0).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,540 a month (rent plus utilities), about the same as the state median ($1,540 against $1,579). Over a year that is 24.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $486,700, which is 6.5 times the median household income ($74,824); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 44.2% of households own their home, 34% below the state average (44.2% against 67.3%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Charlottesville, VA metropolitan area has 114,780 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $55,180 a year, 8% above the national median ($55,180 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are educational instruction and library (12,190 jobs, median $73,840); office and administrative support (11,030 jobs, median $47,380); food preparation and serving related (10,840 jobs, median $36,010). The area is most specialised in educational instruction and library (1.8 times) and healthcare practitioners and technical (1.2 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are healthcare practitioners and technical ($99,530) and business and financial operations ($80,180). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Charlottesville City was 3.0%. 64.5% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Charlottesville City; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 53.1% drive alone, 5.6% use public transit, 11.3% walk, 21.4% work from home. 5.3% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 70% below the state average (5.3% against 17.6%).

People and education

62.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 48% above the state share (62.5% against 42.2%). 10.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 20% below the state share (10.6% against 13.1%). The poverty rate is 19.6%, 99% above the state rate (19.6% against 9.9%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 77°F (24.9°C), and the coolest is Jan at 32°F (0.0°C). About 1,095 mm (43 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (113 mm) and Jan the driest (65 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
