Capon Bridge, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Capon Bridge town is a very small community in West Virginia, with 405 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #258 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 32.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Capon Bridge town earn a median of $68,125 a year, 13.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% above the $52,974 median for the 148 West Virginia cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 23.6% 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 Capon Bridge town is valued at $235,500, 22.4% below the national figure and 85% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,051 a month, 25.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
