Prosperity, West Virginia has about 1,389 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $141,200.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Raleigh County is $972 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Prosperity. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the Beckley, WV metro area, prices sit at 88.4 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

West Virginia taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 6.6% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Prosperity's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical West Virginia home paid 15.78¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Prosperity's bill.
