Reading this West Virginia list

What the West Virginia numbers actually show.

West Virginia is unusually decentralised. No single centre dominates — the ten largest ZIP codes together hold just 18% of the 1,784,132 residents here, and 44 separate entries clear 10,000 people. State-level averages are more representative here than in most states, because there is no outsized core pulling them. These are mostly very small areas — the median ZIP code counts 696 residents. Rankings at the bottom of this list are within each other's margin of error, so treat close positions as ties.

West Virginia runs cheap on housing relative to earnings: $120,600 median home value against $54,285 of household income works out to 2.2 years of gross income, against 3.9 nationally. Incomes are lower here too, so the local comparison that matters for a move is rent. Rent stays modest against earnings — $794 a month, roughly 18% of median household income over a year.

Incomes fan out sharply inside West Virginia. Strip the outliers and the top-decile ZIP code still earns 2.68× the bottom-decile one ($83,472 against $31,129); include them and 26714 tops the list at $131,042 and 25922 anchors the bottom at $2,499. A single "West Virginia average" is averaging across two different economies.

Read the blanks carefully: 184 of 738 rows (25%) have at least one estimate the Census withheld because the local sample was too thin to publish reliably. In a state with 436 ZIP codes under a thousand residents, that is expected, not an error on this page.

Questions people ask

Specific to West Virginia.

How many ZIP codes does West Virginia have? 738 appear in the current federal tabulation. ZIP code tabulation areas are the Census approximation of postal ZIP codes, so the count differs slightly from the number of ZIPs the Postal Service delivers to in West Virginia, and PO-box-only ZIPs have no area at all.

Which West Virginia row should I compare mine against? Pick ZIP codes within roughly the same population band. In a state this spread out, size drives the housing and income figures more than region does.

How current is this? Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year release published by the US Census Bureau, ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates. It reflects the full survey window rather than a single date, and it is the most recent vintage available for ZIP codes this small.
