What it’s like
The place. Danville is a very small town in Boone County, West Virginia, where Turtle Creek runs in or beside town. Home values here are modest, and across Boone County household incomes are below the national picture. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few people work from home.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, forestry and mining, shops, and transport and warehousing also employing local people. Across Boone County, the largest workplaces include Boone County Schools, Boone Memorial Hospital and Kroger Mid-Atlantic. Across the county, unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has fallen.
Things to do. Turtle Creek is a river in or beside town, and Fork Creek Wildlife Management Area, a protected area, is a short drive away. Chief Logan State Park is a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Danville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Boone County and the Charleston, WV metro.
