Married Couple (% of all Households) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — West Virginia

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the Eastern Panhandle and the rural eastern mountain counties tend to display the highest married-couple household shares, frequently exceeding 60–70%, while urban centers such as Morgantown, Charleston, and Huntington stand out as deep purple pockets with rates below 30%. The southwestern coalfield region exhibits notable heterogeneity, with pockets of very low married-couple percentages interspersed among moderate-rate areas, likely reflecting the mix of economically distressed communities and older demographic profiles. The Northern Panhandle and north-central corridor generally fall in the 40–55% range, suggesting a more suburban household composition compared to both the rural east and the state's urban cores.
