Fairfax County · Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV · Population 14,042
Lake Barcroft, VA (ZIP 22044) sits in Fairfax County within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 27.7%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $10,440. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $105,243, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $114,100 per worker — about 74% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.5% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. Bank of America, National Association holds 75% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 21 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 3,771 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Virginia levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $105,243 would pay roughly $3,631/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 10,077 residents (5,006 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $92,889, fair market rent of $2,080 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $591,997, down 2.6% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.5%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
