Living costs & local context

Budget context for Beaver CDP, West Virginia

Median household income$30,8702020–2024 ACS · 2024 dollars · margin of error ±$2,779
Resident population estimate6952020–2024 ACS · margin of error ±394
West Virginia price level89.5BEA regional price parity · 2024 · US = 100

Gross rent combines contract rent with the estimated average monthly cost of tenant-paid utilities and fuels. It describes occupied rental housing, not current asking rents, student accommodation or the cost of a room in a shared home. Household income is not an individual worker’s salary.

The state price index compares the overall price of goods and services with the national average. An index of 89.5 is approximately 10.5% below the national price level. It is context for planning, not a multiplier for a personal budget or a cost-adjusted salary.

Sources: 2024 ACS five-year public summary files, tables B25064, B19013 and B01003; BEA 2024 regional price parities. Retrieved September 9, 2026.
