According to Saturday Night Science, the most boring places in West Virginia for 2024 are Bridgeport and Oak Hill.
It’s true: West Virginia has many beautiful and exciting places to visit. Regrettably, not all towns and cities in the Mountain State are fortunate.
Just like in all U.S. States, there are definitely some boring places within the borders of West Virginia. Do you know those places where everyone has an AARP card and the most exciting thing they do all day is share a picture of their grandchild on Facebook?
For example, Bridgeport. According to Saturday Night Science, our latest analysis shows that this city is considered the most boring city in Oklahoma. But don’t worry if you live in Bridgeport. West Virginia has many other uninteresting and uninspiring places too.
Don’t worry, believe it or not, many people would actually like to live in a boring city.
If your city’s name is on the list, don’t get upset. We didn’t use personal opinion to determine what makes a city or town “boring” or “exciting”. We analyzed real data to determine which towns are statistically less interesting. A real estate agent has knowledge about this data, but they typically do not disclose it.

Method to Determined the Boring Cities in Virginia
If you were having a debate with your friends at a bar about the most boring place to live in West Virginia, you would use the following case. That’s why we use the name Saturday Night Science.
Our data provides more accurate information than emotions.
To determine the level of boredom in a place, we considered factors that we typically associate with exciting people. Then, we identified the cities with the fewest number of these exciting individuals.
We collected the information presented here using data from the U.S. American Community Census. Some things that people often consider to make a city’s population boring include:
- % of Population Over 25 (higher is more boring)
- % of Married Household (higher is more boring)
- Average Age (higher is more boring)
- % of Households With Kids (higher is more boring)
- Population density (lower is more boring)
Our algorithm creates a ranking for each place based on these categories. After analyzing the data, the cities were ranked from the most boring to the most exciting.
For this ranking, we considered all cities in West Virginia that have a population of at least 5,000 residents. This prevents us from unfairly influencing our rankings by including very small groups of retired individuals.
Get your chair and hold on tight. We have revised this article for 2023, and this is our tenth time ranking the least interesting cities in West Virginia.
