Iaeger, West Virginia...WOW!! Located in McDowell County, and having a population of only 257 people, it is one of the poorest and hardest hit towns in the state. After the coal mine industry came to an end, and dealing with floods, Iaeger has suffered immensely. Most people had to move to find jobs as the town has been just about wiped out. Those who remain deal with struggles daily, as poverty rates are over 34%. Median incomes are less than half of the national average. I barely seen anyone there, and downtown was empty as it gets. Quite sad, but amazing at the same time as it is such a beautiful place. Abandoned homes, buildings, and cars make it look as time has stood still for decades. Let's take a drive and check it out!
