Bolt CDP is a Census CDP of 195 people across 5.45 square miles of land, in Raleigh County. 100.0 percent of occupied homes are owned.
34 sourced place values · tier SHORT · 5 sections
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Bolt through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 195 with a margin of error of plus or minus 218, which is 111.8 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it. Because the margin here exceeds the estimate, this page shows its strongest sections only rather than a full profile.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Raleigh County, not Bolt
Raleigh County context, not Bolt figures
These are Raleigh County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Bolt measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Raleigh County26,532
- Covered employment, Raleigh County32,322
- Average annual pay, Raleigh County$54,223

- Average income of an arriving household, Raleigh County$55,274
Every figure in this section is published for Raleigh County as a whole and is not a measurement of Bolt. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

How many people live in Bolt, West Virginia?
195, in 118 households. Bolt CDP covers 5.45 square miles of land, which is 36 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Are the county figures on this page Bolt figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Raleigh County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Bolt.
Is zoning published for Bolt?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
