What it’s like
The place. Marshall is a small community in Fauquier County, Virginia, with a younger population than many small towns, and its homes are priced well above what is typical for much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, peaking in July. Few adults here hold a four-year degree compared with the wider county.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in government, or in the building trades. In Marshall itself, the largest workplaces include Food Lion, Capitol Building Supply and Tractor Supply Company Store. The county's unemployment rate has held steady over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly. The typical commute is fairly long, and some people work from home.
Things to do. The National Sporting Library, a museum, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Sky Meadows State Park is a protected area for walking and being outdoors, and the Shenandoah River is a longer drive away for time by the water. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, a museum, is also 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 Marshall’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Fauquier County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
