Students who live off campus count in the Census poverty figures: 0.0% of Itmann residents are below the poverty line, 0.0% when college students are left out (that estimate could be off by 21 points either way). 0% of the students themselves are below the line. In college towns, the Jobs & income grade uses the rate without students and leaves unemployment out.
The Cost grade counts the share of renters paying 30% or more of income on rent, leaving it out only where students are a quarter of residents or more. Here they are 24%, so student incomes still weigh on that figure.
CDC’s estimates follow each place’s age mix, and Itmann’s median age is 59.5 (West Virginia 42.7), so the adult figures describe a young population.
Crime is counted per resident, and students who live here count as residents. A college with its own police department reports its incidents under that department, not the city.
