U.S. Census Bureau data (2024)
ZIP code 25913 in Ravencliff, WV, has a total population of 284 and consists of 91 households, with an average of 3.12 persons per household. The median household income is listed as $53,854, although specific income figures for the area were not available during the latest census period.
The median home value in ZIP 25913 is $22,200, indicating a relatively low-cost housing market. However, the median gross rent for the area was not explicitly stated in the data retrieved. Given that 35.3% of the population are renters, there is a notable demand for rental properties, suggesting that this ZIP code could have a significant number of tenants eligible for Section 8 housing vouchers.
To contextualize the potential impact of Section 8 vouchers, we refer to the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for the area, which is set at $870 for FY 2026. Assuming the median gross rent aligns closely with the FMR, a landlord can expect that typical rents would consume approximately 15.7% of the median household income ($870/$53,854).
This ZIP code is likely to attract tenants who heavily rely on government assistance due to the low median home value and the significant percentage of renters. Landlords should prepare for a tenant pool that predominantly includes individuals and families seeking affordable housing options through Section 8 vouchers. These tenants will require a stable income source to meet their portion of the rent, typically 30% of their adjusted income, which means landlords must ensure their units comply with HUD standards for quality and safety.
