Scarbro, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Scarbro CDP is a very small community in West Virginia, with 178 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #346 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 47.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Scarbro CDP 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 29.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Scarbro CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 92.9% 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. 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.

With 178 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Scarbro CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for Scarbro CDP 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.
