What it’s like
The place. Drewryville is a small town in Southampton County, in southeastern Virginia. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population is older than the country as a whole. The winters are mild for the most part, with very little snow, though the summers are hot and the rainfall is heavier than the national average.
Work. Across Southampton County, unemployment has eased slightly over the past year, but the number of jobs fell last year. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, manufacturing, or government. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, few people work from home, and commutes are longer than many Americans face.
Things to do. Fountains Creek, a river, is a short drive away and is a simple place to spend a quiet afternoon. The Meherrin River, also a river, lies a longer drive off. Big Woods State Forest, a protected area a longer drive away, offers woodland to explore.

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.
