Recently the newspapers have been listing a place called Bull Run, Virginia. Truthfully, I had no idea where it was. I figured out that probably Big Dog had finally won his fight with the press about blaming Manassas for everything bad that has happened. I was close. Bull Run is a CDP–Census Designated Place. (See Above). Wikipedia has the following to say about it:
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 11,337 people, 4,728 households, and 2,709 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 4,237.8 people per square mile (1,633.3/km²). There were 4,948 housing units at an average density of 1,849.6/sq mi (712.8/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 63.45% White, 18.97% African American, 0.27% Native American, 5.46% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 8.04% from other races, and 3.73% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 16.03% of the population.
There were 4,728 households out of which 34.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 36.3% were married couples living together, 16.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 42.7% were non-families. 32.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 5.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

I am still not sure I know where Bull Run is. All I know is I don’t live there. Its sort of creepy though, to have a new place spring out of nowhere.
More graphically driven information may be found HERE. Some of the demographics are very interesting.
I love that we pay to know how many pacific islanders are in Bull Run, VA. Who says I don’t get anything for my tax dollars? Between that and the shrimp on the treadmill, what am I complaining about?
Bull Run does NOT include WestGate/Sudley. So, what shall we be called in the eyes of the local. We don’t want to upset a Big Dog, if they call it Manassas. They best include Manassas area of PWC. I think Big Dog should understand those of us in the county don’t want to be linked to the crap that happens in GTS in the city.
Moon, Bull Run is on the western side of 234. We are NOT included. Which is really kind of funny, since Sudley has Bull Run along the back of it. I believe all the subdivision over there have street lights. Some of us on the eastern side of 234 are still in the dark. 👿
Right. It is all across Sudley Road. I actually had no idea where they were talking about until I looked it up to make sure I didn’t live in Bull Run, Virginia.
Lafayette, this presentation labels you as “Manassas Region” part of a 90 sq mile swath in Prince William County. Watch the July 23 City Council meeting segment on the branding of the City of Manassas and see the map at 03:04:00 into the tape:
