What it’s like
The place. Bluemont sits in Clarke County, where most homes are lived in by their owners, and the county's population is older than the country as a whole. Household incomes are well above the national typical, and fewer residents live in poverty than across the country. Winters are cold, with lows that often fall below freezing, while summers are warm and the year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, building trades, or government. Jobs in the county grew over the most recent year, and unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier. A good share of residents work from home, and the typical drive to work is a regular part of daily life.
Things to do. Sky Meadows State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. Cool Spring Battlefield, an archaeological site, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, another protected area, lies a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- DroughtRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Clarke County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Clarke County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
