Danville, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Danville town is a very small community in West Virginia, with 634 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #199 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 48.9 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 Danville town earn a median of $30,000 a year, 61.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below the $52,974 median for the 148 West Virginia cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 26.5% 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 Danville town is valued at $77,100, 74.6% below the national figure and 39% below the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $557 a month, 60.4% below the national figure, or roughly $6,684 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 43.2% 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.

With 634 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Danville town 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.
