You have to be poor to go into a mine. Grandad, as a child, ran off to sea before mining.
The average annual household income in Boone County is $49,742, while the median household income sits at $40,729 per year. Residents aged 25 to 44 earn $70,436, while those between 45 and 64 years old have a median wage of $63,065. In contrast, people younger than 25 and those older than 65 earn less, at $33,750 and $36,118, respectively.
Now in NYC that isn't going to cut it but with the low COL in WV that will work for you. There is nothing in Boone county other than mining.
