Dupont City, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Dupont City CDP is a very small community in West Virginia, with 455 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #244 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 48.5 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 Dupont City CDP earn a median of $39,286 a year, 50% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 21.5% 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 Dupont City CDP is valued at $133,600, 56% below the national figure and 5% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 455 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Dupont City CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Dupont City CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
