Bradley CDP, WV in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bradley CDP is a small town in West Virginia, with 1,429 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #109 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 36.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Bradley CDP earn a median of $58,984 a year, 24.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above the $52,974 median for the 148 West Virginia cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bradley CDP is valued at $88,600, 70.8% below the national figure and 30% below the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $826 a month, 41.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,912 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 65.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
