Clearview, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Clearview village is a very small community in West Virginia, with 505 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #229 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 50.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Clearview village earn a median of $73,750 a year, 6.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% 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 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clearview village is valued at $214,700, 29.2% below the national figure and 69% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $917 a month, 34.8% below the national figure, or roughly $11,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 50.4 puts Clearview village well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 505 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Clearview village against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
