Eleanor town, WV in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Eleanor town is a small town in West Virginia, with 1,655 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #90 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 44 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Eleanor town earn a median of $74,211 a year, 5.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eleanor town is valued at $236,400, 22.1% below the national figure and 86% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,011 a month, 28.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.3% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
