What it’s like
The place. Ebony is a very small community in Brunswick County, Virginia, with far fewer residents than a typical town. Homes here are valued well above what the county's modest incomes might suggest. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, and summers turn properly hot by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in government. Across Brunswick County, the largest workplaces include Southside Virginia Community College, Brunswick County Public Schools and The Scotts Company in Lawrenceville. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Lake Gaston, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the nearest spot for time on the water. Farther afield, Kerr Lake is another reservoir, and Medoc Mountain State Park is a protected area for walking and open-air time. Each of these 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 Ebony’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 Brunswick County.
