Valley Bend, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Valley Bend CDP is a very small community in West Virginia, with 713 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #184 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Valley Bend CDP earn a median of $93,352 a year, 18.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 76% 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 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Valley Bend CDP is valued at $253,500, 16.4% below the national figure and 99% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 713 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Valley Bend CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Valley Bend 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.
