What it’s like
The place. Strasburg is a small town in Shenandoah County, Virginia, with a fairly young population for a place read by homeowners, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and typical home values and rents are high next to those incomes. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers are warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in government. Among the largest workplaces in town are Mercury Paper, which makes toilet paper, the Food Lion grocery store, and Americold Logistics, a cold storage warehouse. Few adults hold a four-year degree, a typical commute is a fairly short drive, and the county has lost some jobs over the past year.
Things to do. In or beside town, Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park is a protected area where history and open ground sit together, and the Museum of American Presidents is also close by. A short drive away, Wayside Theatre offers live performances and the Shenandoah River is there for time on the water. Luray Caverns, one of the best known tourist attractions in the valley, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Strasburg’s census tracts, 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 Shenandoah County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
