What it’s like
The place. Hacksneck is a small community on Virginia's Eastern Shore, the long peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Across Accomack County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and many residents are older. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with light snow and a fairly wet year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, retail, and farming, forestry and mining. Jobs in the county fell a little over the last year, and unemployment is a little higher than the year before. Most commutes are fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Pungoteague Creek runs in or beside the town, so it is an easy place to walk to and spend time by the water. Parkers Marsh Natural Area Preserve, a protected area, is a short drive away. The Eastern Shore Railway Museum is a longer drive off and is a good choice for an afternoon out.

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