ZIP code 25165

ZIP 25165 is a very small community in Boone County, West Virginia, with 775 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #351 of 738 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 49.5 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 25165 is valued at $108,900, 64.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 91.8% 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.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for ZIP 25165 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.

ZIP 25165 is tabulated inside Boone County, West Virginia, one of 28 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 738 across West Virginia. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 25165 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

West Virginia charges 6% statewide, and local governments overlapping 25165 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 25165 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
