What it’s like
The place. Hurt is a small town in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes across the county run below the national picture, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and winters are cold with some snow while summers turn properly warm.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Pittylvania County, the largest workplaces include Pittsylvania County Public Schools, Tyson Farms and Intertape Polymer Group. The commute is fairly long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Several rivers lie a short drive away, including Big Otter River and Goose Creek, which suit anyone who likes time by the water. Farther afield, Smith Mountain Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away, and Booker T. Washington National Monument is a museum and historic site, also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hurt’s census tracts, 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 Pittsylvania County and the Danville, VA metro.
