Glen Ferris, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Glen Ferris CDP is a very small community in West Virginia, with 40 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #416 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 71.3 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glen Ferris CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 100% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 71.3 puts Glen Ferris CDP 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.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Glen Ferris CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
