What it’s like
The place. Foxfire is a small village in Moore County, North Carolina, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are close to the county's, and typical home values are well above what many places in the state see. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, with snow only a rare visitor, summers turn hot, and rain is steady through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, and in government. Across Moore County, the biggest employers include FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, Moore County Schools and Pinehurst. Commutes run a little longer than a short hop across town, and a modest number of people work from home.
Things to do. Sandhills Horticultural Gardens, a botanical garden, is a short drive away and makes an easy outing. Farther afield, Weymouth Woods-Sandhills Nature Preserve and Lake Tillery, a reservoir, are each a longer drive away. Rockingham Speedway, a race track, is also a longer drive for those who like to see a race.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Foxfire’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.
