A one-bedroom apartment in Morgantown, for example, goes for $675 a month, compared with $2,155 a month in Washington, D.C., according to Zumper. A D.C. resident would already save more than $10,000 a year by moving there—and that’s before accounting for other cost-of-living expenses. Buying a house? The median home value in Morgantown is $222,000, according to Zillow, compared with $672,000 in Washington.

Morgantown has gotta be the most expensive city in WV. I'm surprised by that median home price.
I've driven through WV a lot on I-77, but never actually visited. It looks like a very picturesque place from the interstate -- somewhat like New England from afar. But the few times I've actually stopped, it felt very much the hillbilly's elegy.
If WV really wants to get people and money in there, they should figure out how to expand their tourism industry.
