What it’s like
The place. Snow Hill is a small town in eastern North Carolina and the seat of Greene County. Fewer homes here are lived in by their owners than in most American communities, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than across much of the country. Typical home values are modest, and winters are mild, with January the coldest month and frosty nights, while summers are hot, July is the warmest month, and a good deal of rain falls across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Greene County, the largest workplaces include Greene County Schools, Ham Produce and Food Lion, and farming and trucking also employ many people. Unemployment in the county is low, though the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier, and many people commute a fairly short drive to work.
Things to do. A short drive away, Fort Neoheroka is an archaeological site tied to the history of the area, and Wheat Swamp is a river good for a quiet outing. A longer drive brings you to Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, a protected area, or to CSS Neuse, a museum about the Civil War ironclad of that name.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Snow Hill’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Greene County.
