Glenville town, WV in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Glenville town is a small town in West Virginia, with 1,049 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #147 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 31.6 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 Glenville town earn a median of $46,875 a year, 40.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $52,974 median for the 148 West Virginia cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glenville town is valued at $95,000, 68.7% below the national figure and 25% below the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $852 a month, 39.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,224 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 39.5% 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.

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.
