Galloway, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Galloway CDP is a very small community in West Virginia, with 135 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #366 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 27.8 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 Galloway CDP earn a median of $60,486 a year, 23% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above 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 54.1% 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 Galloway CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 37.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 27.8 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 135 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Galloway CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Galloway 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.
