What it’s like
The place. Delbarton is a very small town in Mingo County, West Virginia, where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Homes here cost far less than in most of the country, and household incomes across the county sit well below what is typical nationally. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the winters are cold, with some snow, while summers turn quite warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, then restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and shops. Across Mingo County, Mingo County Schools and Everett Hannah Lumber are among the largest workplaces. Unemployment in the county is higher than in much of the country, and the county has fewer jobs than a year earlier.
Things to do. Laurel Lake Wildlife Management Area, a protected area, and the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum are both a short drive away. Blackberry Creek is a river that is also a short drive from town. Chief Logan State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Delbarton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Mingo County.
