What it’s like
The place. Austinville is a small community in Carroll County, in the hills of southwestern Virginia, where neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are colder than in much of the country and bring a fair amount of snow, while summers are warm. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year, so the land stays green.
Work. Many people who live here work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing. Others work in local shops, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Unemployment has come down over the past year, and the number of jobs is about the same as it was the year before.
Things to do. Cripple Creek runs in or beside the town, so it is one of the easiest outings to reach. Shot Tower Historical State Park and New River Trail State Park are both protected areas a short drive away. The Blue Ridge Music Center, a museum, is a longer drive off.
