What it’s like
The place. Moyock is a small community in Currituck County, North Carolina, close to the Virginia line. Households here earn more than across the county as a whole, and almost everyone lives in a home they own rather than rent. Homes are priced well above what many parts of the country would expect, and rents run high too. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in manufacturing. Across Currituck County, some of the largest workplaces are Currituck County Schools, the County of Currituck and Food Lion. Many people travel a long way to their jobs, and a share of residents work from home.
Things to do. Moyock sits near a good deal of quiet water and wild land. Northwest River Natural Area Preserve, a protected area, and North Landing River are both a short drive away, and Dog Track Speedway, a race track, is also close by. For a longer outing, Dismal Swamp State Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away.
