Used to hike and backpack around Tucker County, oh thirty years ago or so. It was pretty quiet even then. Did a little searching on more recent stats:
Thomas had 452 residents in 2000, and per capita income was $14,918
Hendricks had 319 residents in 2000, per capita income was $21,315
Tucker counted 7,321 in 2000 census, is West Virginia's second-least populous county.
