Inwood CDP, WV in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Inwood CDP is a small town in West Virginia, with 2,605 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 42.3 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 Inwood CDP earn a median of $82,267 a year, 4.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 55% 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 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Inwood CDP is valued at $270,000, 11% below the national figure and 112% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,674 a month, 19.1% above the national figure, or roughly $20,088 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.4% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
