What it’s like
The place. Dunmore is a small community in Pocahontas County, in the mountains of eastern West Virginia. Winters are colder and snowier than in most of the country, while summers are mild and rain falls often through the year. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population skews older than the national average.
Work. Across Pocahontas County, many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, or in professional and business services. Working from home is uncommon, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in most of the country. Incomes here tend to sit below the national level, and jobs have been roughly steady in recent years.
Things to do. Seneca State Forest is in or beside town, so it is the easiest place to walk or hike among the trees. Snowshoe Mountain, a ski area a short drive away, draws visitors in winter. Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, a short drive away, is a museum built around a historic logging railroad.

Natural hazards
- LandslidesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Pocahontas County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Pocahontas County.
