Wolf Summit, WV population, income and ZIP codes

Wolf Summit CDP is a very small community in West Virginia, with 216 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #329 of 439 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 63.2 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 Wolf Summit CDP earn a median of $34,120 a year, 56.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below 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 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wolf Summit CDP is valued at $115,800, 61.8% below the national figure and 9% below the $127,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 63.2 puts Wolf Summit CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 216 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wolf Summit CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Wolf Summit 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.
