White Hall town, WV in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

White Hall town is a small town in West Virginia, with 1,141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #137 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 35.5 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 White Hall town earn a median of $72,000 a year, 8.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in White Hall town is valued at $260,700, 14.1% below the national figure and 105% above the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $994 a month, 29.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,928 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 53.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
