What it’s like
The place. Floyd is a very small town, the kind where people are likely to know one another, set in the Blue Ridge country of southwestern Virginia. Homes here are valued well above what incomes across Floyd County would suggest, and winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January and the warmest in July.
Work. People who live in Floyd work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades and shops. Across Floyd County, the largest workplaces include Floyd County Public Schools, Hollingsworth and Vose, and Riverbend Nursery. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Bugbook Historical Computer Museum is in or beside town. A short drive away, Rocky Knob Recreation Area is a park for time outdoors, and Chestnut Creek Wetlands Natural Area Preserve is a protected area to explore. Philpott Lake, a reservoir, 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 Floyd’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 Floyd County.
