What it’s like
The place. Gasburg is a very small community in Brunswick County, Virginia, where residents are considerably older than in most American towns. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and homes here are valued well above what the county's modest incomes might suggest. Winters are cool and fairly mild, with January the coldest month and highs staying above freezing, while summers turn hot, with July the warmest month.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in government. Across Brunswick County, some of the largest workplaces are Brunswick County Public Schools, Southside Virginia Community College and The Scotts Company's Lawrenceville plant. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, 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 place for time on the water. Farther out, Kerr Lake is another large reservoir, and Medoc Mountain State Park is a protected area for walking and being outdoors. Each of these is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Gasburg’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.
