What it’s like
The place. Davisville is a small community in Wood County, West Virginia, where most homes are lived in by their owners and many residents are middle-aged or older. Home prices are more modest than in many larger metro areas, and a larger share of people live in poverty than across the country. Neighbors tend to know one another in a place of this size.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, shops, manufacturing, or government. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs in the county dipped slightly last year. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and few people work from home, so most commutes are short trips to a nearby workplace.
Things to do. Walker Creek runs in or beside town, so it is the easiest place to spend time outdoors. Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. Fort Harmar, a historic fort, lies a longer drive off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Wood County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Wood County and the Parkersburg-Vienna, WV metro.
