The population of the region in question is 700,000-800,000. The population of the state of Missouri is 6 million. So between 1/9th and slightly more than 1/8th (if you are really generous with the population count).
Quite a bit closer to 1/8th than 1/4 any way you slice it, and a long, long way from the 80% of speakers in WV who have southern accents.
WV isn't 80 percent southern accent it's more like about 60/40.
