The place. Rawlings is a town in Brunswick County, in south-central Virginia. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and residents tend to be older than across much of the country. Winters are cold with little snow, summers are warm, and rain falls heavily through the year.
Work. Across Brunswick County, most people work in schools, hospitals and social care, shops, manufacturing, or government. Jobs grew over the past year, and unemployment has fallen from a year earlier. Fewer adults hold a university degree than across most of the country, and few residents work from home.

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