Smithfield, West Virginia: commercial real estate data.
Smithfield is a Census town of 113 people across 0.29 square miles of land, in Wetzel County. 43.5 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 Smithfield through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 113 with a margin of error of plus or minus 85, which is 75.2 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.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Is Smithfield in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Smithfield appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Smithfield, town of, community 540258, 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 Smithfield figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Wetzel 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 Smithfield.
Is zoning published for Smithfield?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
