What it’s like
The place. Freeman is a small place in Brunswick County, Virginia, where most homes across the county are lived in by their owners. Residents are typically middle-aged, and a sizable share of households live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with July the hottest month of the year.
Work. Unemployment across Brunswick County has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs grew in the most recent year. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, or in government. Few people work from home, so most adults commute, and relatively few hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. Cactus Hill, an archaeological site, is one of the best known places to visit nearby, though it is a longer drive away. Lake Gaston, a reservoir, and Cumberland State Forest, a protected area, are also a longer drive away and offer more open country to explore.

Natural hazards
- DroughtRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Brunswick 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 Brunswick County.
