What it’s like

The place. Gumspring sits in Goochland County, Virginia, where most homes are lived in by their owners and few are rented. Across the county, residents tend to be older than in much of the country, with household incomes above the national middle and a larger share of adults holding a degree than across the country. Homes are valued well above typical national levels, and the county's population is largely settled.

Work. Across Goochland County, most people work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, or in banks, insurance and property. Unemployment has edged up over the past year, while the number of jobs has grown slightly. A good many residents work from home, though the typical trip to work still takes a fair while.

Things to do. Powhatan State Park is a protected area a short drive away, suited to quiet walks and time outdoors. Kings Dominion, an amusement park, and Lake Anna, a reservoir with its own state park, are both a longer drive away. Winters here are cold with light snow, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn are often the most comfortable seasons for getting out.
