What it’s like

The place. Points is a small community in Hampshire County, West Virginia, and most of the figures on this page are for the whole county, since the Census does not count the town on its own. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical resident is older than most Americans. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through the year. Incomes across the county are lower than the national typical, and the typical home is valued below many places across the country.

Work. Across Hampshire County, many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others in manufacturing, the building trades, or government. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, and job numbers have held nearly steady. Few adults hold a four-year degree compared with the country as a whole, and few people work from home, so most commute out for their jobs, and the typical drive to work is long.

Things to do. Lake Holiday is a lake a longer drive away, and North River is a river a short drive away. Springfield Wildlife Management Area is a protected area a short drive away, and Literary Hall is a museum a longer drive away.
