What these numbers say together
Charleston, WV (ZIP 25301) sits in Kanawha County within the Charleston metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 51.6%. NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $24,299. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $74,714, well above the ~$45K national average per return. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 78th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 34 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 14,979 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 27.7% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. West Virginia levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 4.82%); a household at the local median AGI of $74,714 would pay roughly $2,161/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $107,852,000 in net taxable income to other counties. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $23,852, fair market rent of $950 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $176,694, down 0.2% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($950/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 48% of median household income ($23,852, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($23,852, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 46.1% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
- As a predominantly renter community (79% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 2 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 30.8%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
