What it’s like
The place. Crewe is a small town in Nottoway County, Virginia, with a young population by national standards. Household incomes in town run higher than across the county, though a good share of residents still live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and typical home values are modest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in government and in the building trades. Across Nottoway County, the largest workplaces include Nottoway County Public Schools, Piedmont Geriatric Hospital and Walmart. Commutes are of moderate length, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. Twin Lakes State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and Mallorys Creek runs in or beside town. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Sailor's Creek Battlefield Historical State Park, an archaeological site, and to the Metro Richmond Zoo. Winters are cool and summers are hot, so spring and fall suit time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Crewe’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Nottoway County.
