Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. Sources: the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2020-2024 (data profiles DP03, DP04 and DP05), Henrico County’s approved tax rates, Henrico County Public Schools’ school locator map data, the Virginia Department of Education’s School Quality Profiles and Zillow Research.
This page compares Short Pump with three of its neighboring Census Bureau places in western Henrico County: Wyndham, about 2.5 miles away, Tuckahoe, about 5 miles, and Glen Allen, about 7 miles. None of the four is a city or a town. All four are census-designated places: unincorporated communities that the county governs. That means the same tax rate, the same police and fire departments and the same school division. What differs is which schools an address is zoned for, what homes are worth, and how far it is to work. This page sets the official figures side by side. It does not rank them.
What this means for you
- Taxes: identical. Henrico’s real estate rate is 83 cents per $100 of assessed value in all four, with no town tax.
- Schools: all Henrico County Public Schools, but the zoned high school changes from place to place and street to street.
- Where to check: an address’s schools in the HCPS school locator, its assessment in the county’s real estate database.

Taxes
Because none of the four is incorporated, a homeowner pays only Henrico County’s taxes. From the county’s approved tax rates:
| Tax | Short Pump | Wyndham | Tuckahoe | Glen Allen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real estate, per $100 of assessed value | 83 cents | 83 cents | 83 cents | 83 cents |
| Town or city real estate tax | None | None | None | None |
| Car and personal property, per $100 | $3.35 | $3.35 | $3.35 | $3.35 |
A few neighborhoods in each place also pay a small streetlight district rate, shown on the tax bill. None of the four has a homestead exemption of its own; Henrico’s relief programs for owners 65 or older or permanently disabled apply the same way in all four. We have not charted the tax rates, because four identical bars would tell you nothing. Our property tax guide has due dates and appeals.
Schools
All four are served by Henrico County Public Schools. We sampled each census place on a grid against the HCPS locator’s attendance map to see which high schools serve it. Scores are 2025-26 Standards of Learning pass rates for all students, from each school’s School Quality Profile; every school listed is Fully Accredited for 2025-26.

Census median home values
