What it’s like
The place. Orlando is a small town in Lewis County, in the hills of north-central West Virginia. Across the county, the population is older than the country as a whole, and most homes are lived in by their owners, with more owners than renters. Typical home values are well below the national figure, and incomes sit under the national median, with a larger share of residents living below the poverty line than across the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in government. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, although the number of jobs dipped slightly in the most recent year. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and fewer people work from home than the national average.
Things to do. The Saltlick Creek is a river a short drive away, and Burnsville Lake, a reservoir, is also a short drive off. Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away as well, and the West Fork River is a longer drive for those who want to go further.

Natural hazards
- LandslidesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Lewis County, 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 Lewis County.
