26591, Worthington, WV

The 26591 zip code of Worthington, WV is located in the southwestern corner of West Virginia. The zip code has a population of just over 10,000 people and covers an area of just over 2 square miles. The median home value in the zip code is $106,500, which is significantly lower than the statewide median home value of $217,500. In addition, the percentage of homes in the zip code that are owner-occupied is significantly lower than the statewide percentage of owner-occupied homes at 66%.

One reason for this disparity may be that Worthington is a relatively new community and therefore there are not as many homes available for purchase or rent as there are in more established communities. Additionally, Worthington suffers from high levels of poverty and unemployment, which may contribute to low levels of home equity and home prices. Despite these challenges, there have been some recent signs that suggest home values may be beginning to increase in the 26591 zip code. For example, according to Zillow’s Home Value Index data for ZIP codes within 50 miles of Worthington (which includes portions of both Ohio and West Virginia), ZIP code 26591 has seen an average increase in home values over the past three years (2013-2015). This suggests that there may be potential buyers or renters who are interested in purchasing or renting homes in this area.
