What it’s like
The place. Pollocksville is a very small town in Jones County, North Carolina, where neighbors are likely to know one another by sight. Winters are cool and fairly mild, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year, so the area stays green. A typical home here costs less than in much of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, government and shops also employing many. Across Jones County, Jones County Schools and CarolinaEast Internal Medicine - Pollocksville are among the largest workplaces. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though there were fewer jobs in the county last year than the year before. Few people work from home, and most make a commute of moderate length.
Things to do. Close by, Beaverdam Creek and Wilson Creek are rivers a short drive away, and Catfish Lake South Wilderness is a protected area also a short drive off. For a longer outing, Tryon Palace is a museum a longer drive away, and Bogue Banks is a beach, also a longer drive away. Together they give the area a mix of quiet water, wild country and history.
