New Haven, WV population, income and ZIP codes

New Haven town is a small town in West Virginia, with 1,735 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #87 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 44.2 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 New Haven town earn a median of $56,500 a year, 28.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in New Haven town is valued at $101,700, 66.5% below the national figure and 20% below the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $491 a month, 65.1% below the national figure, or roughly $5,892 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.4% 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 1.8×, 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. 85.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
