I've been to Missouri 2-3 times. It never felt Southern to me. Springfield and Independence City areas.

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.
