Oakvale, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Oakvale town is a very small community in West Virginia, with 232 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #321 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 11.8 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 Oakvale town earn a median of not published a year. 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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oakvale town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 40.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 11.8 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 232 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Oakvale town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Oakvale town 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.
