What it’s like
The place. Dyke is a small community in Greene County, Virginia, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and residents of all ages live side by side. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Across Greene County, jobs were slightly fewer last year than the year before, while unemployment has held steady over the past year. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, shops, or the building trades. A good number of adults hold a four-year degree, and a share of workers do their jobs from home.
Things to do. Shenandoah National Park is a national park a longer drive away, and Luray Caverns, a tourist attraction, is also a longer drive off. Closer by, the Moormans River is a short drive away and makes a simple outing.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Greene 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 Greene County and the Charlottesville, VA metro.
