What it’s like
The place. Jarratt is a very small town in Greensville County, Virginia, where people tend to be younger than in many small towns. Household incomes here run higher than across the county as a whole, and the typical home is priced modestly. The nearby countryside is a mix of woods, creeks and open land.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in government and in manufacturing, and very few work from home. Across Greensville County, the largest workplaces include Greensville Correctional Center, Jackson-Feild Behavioral Health Services; Jarratt Campus, and Boar's Head Brand Provisions Company Inc./ Jarratt. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Big Woods State Forest is a protected area of woodland, and Stony Creek is a river, both a longer drive away. History-minded visitors can head to Petersburg National Battlefield, also a longer drive away. Winters are cool with very little snow, and summers get hot, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
