Auburn, West Virginia: commercial real estate data.
Auburn is a Census town of 91 people across 0.33 square miles of land, in Ritchie County. 41.7 percent of occupied homes are owned.
Underlined figures are computed by MMCG Analytics, not published by the agency.
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Auburn through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 91 with a margin of error of plus or minus 106, which is 116.5 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.

Common questions
Auburn questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Auburn, West Virginia?
91, in 24 households. Auburn town covers 0.33 square miles of land, which is 272 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Auburn in?
Ritchie County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Is Auburn in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Auburn appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Auburn, town of, community 540262, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Auburn figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Ritchie 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 Auburn.
Is zoning published for Auburn?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
