The 2021 West Virginia Social Survey, a representative survey of non-institutionalized adults in the Mountain State, found residents were more likely to report being worse off in 2021 compared to 2020. West Virginia adults were also more likely to think the COVID-19 pandemic was a hoax compared to the United States adult population.

The WVSS was executed by the Survey Research Center at WVU and co-directed by Christopher P. Scheitle and Katie E. Corcoran, associate professors in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
