Pea Ridge, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Pea Ridge CDP is a mid-size town in West Virginia, with 7,188 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #22 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Pea Ridge CDP earn a median of $67,708 a year, 13.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% above 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pea Ridge CDP is valued at $186,900, 38.4% below the national figure and 47% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $953 a month, 32.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,436 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
