What it’s like

The place. Ronceverte is a small city on the Greenbrier River in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Incomes here run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line, though most homes are lived in by their owners. Not many adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, with warm summers and plenty of rain through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Greenbrier County, the largest workplaces include Greenbrier County Schools, Greenbrier Valley Medical Center and Walmart. Jobs in the county were fewer last year than the year before, and commutes are short for most people.

Things to do. Organ Cave, a tourist attraction, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Lost World Caverns, which is a museum, and Greenbrier State Forest, a protected area. The Appalachian Trail is a longer drive away for those who want to hike.

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