Anmoore, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Anmoore town is a very small community in West Virginia, with 558 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #218 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 39.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Anmoore town earn a median of $27,738 a year, 64.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 48% below the $52,974 median for the 148 West Virginia cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 33.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Anmoore town is valued at $77,900, 74.3% below the national figure and 39% below the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $762 a month, 45.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,144 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 40.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Anmoore town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 33% of median income while homes cost only 2.8× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 558 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Anmoore town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
