What it’s like
The place. Quantico is a very small town in Prince William County, Virginia, with far fewer residents than most places, and the great majority of homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners. A typical home here is worth much less than you might expect in this part of Northern Virginia. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are hot, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. People who live in Quantico most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in government, and in shops. Across Prince William County, some of the largest workplaces are Prince William County Public Schools, Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center and Lockheed Martin's Manassas site. Unemployment in the county is unchanged from a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The National Mall is a park and is a longer drive away. The Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument are protected areas, also a longer drive away. The National Air and Space Museum is a museum, and it too is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Quantico’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Prince William County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
