What it’s like
The place. Dublin is a small town in Pulaski County, Virginia, with a population on the younger side of middle age. Household incomes in the county run below the typical American level, and more residents live below the poverty line than is common. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and homes sell at a middling price for the region. Winters are cold and summers warm but not hot, with some snow each winter and a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Most residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in restaurants and hotels. Among the largest workplaces in Dublin are the New River Valley Regional Jail, Camrett Logistics and Commercial Vehicle Group. Jobs across Pulaski County have fallen over the past year, and unemployment in the county is well below where it stood a year earlier. A typical commute is fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Claytor Lake State Park and Claytor Lake itself, a protected area and a reservoir, are both a short drive away and are the closest places for time on the water. The Glencoe Museum is also a short drive away, and Motor Mile Speedway offers a race track close by. For a longer outing, the Appalachian Trail is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dublin’s census tracts, 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 Pulaski County and the Blacksburg-Christiansburg, VA metro.
