    Methodology · West Virginia population ranking

    West Virginia cities ranked by Census Vintage 2025 estimates.

    West Virginia ranking uses Census Vintage 2025 Population Estimates Program data as of July 1, 2025. Ranks are state-scoped, using standard competition ranking ("1224"): tied cities share the lower rank and the next rank is skipped. Growth shown is 2020 base → 2025 — within-vintage; no 2010→2025 figures appear here per methodology §6.

    This ranking includes incorporated places and consolidated governments in our city dataset, with Washington, D.C. and Urban Honolulu as named special cases. Census-designated places and county subdivisions are separate geographies.

    City rankings cover our incorporated-place and consolidated-government population dataset, with Washington, D.C. and Urban Honolulu as named special cases. They do not count every community.Use the community lookup on this page to find Census places and county subdivisions separately. Its survey estimates describe 2020–2024 and are not part of these city rankings.
