What it’s like
The place. Lyndhurst is a small community in Augusta County, Virginia, and nearly everyone here lives in a home they own. Very few residents live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow arrive steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services. Across Augusta County, some of the largest workplaces are Augusta County Public Schools, Augusta Medical Center and The Hershey Company. Most people have a short drive to work, and only a few work from home.
Things to do. The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia is a short drive away, and Cowbane Prairie Natural Area Preserve, a protected area, is also close by. For winter sports, Wintergreen Resort, a ski area, is a short drive away too. For a longer outing, Crabtree Falls, a waterfall, is a longer drive away.

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

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 Augusta County and the Staunton, VA metro.
