What it’s like
The place. Troutville is a very small town in Botetourt County, Virginia, home to fewer people than most places that have a post office and a main road. Household incomes in town run below the county's, while the typical home value is fairly high, and a smaller share of people live below the poverty line than you might expect. Winters are cold and a little snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Across Botetourt County, some of the largest workplaces are Altec Industries, Botetourt County Public Schools and Munters Corporation in Daleville. Commutes are fairly short, and relatively few people work from home.
Things to do. The Bowyer-Holladay House, an archaeological site, is in or beside town. A longer drive away are the Appalachian Trail, a long-distance trail, and the Booker T. Washington National Monument, a museum and historic site. The Jackson River is another longer drive away for anyone who likes time on the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Troutville’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 Botetourt County and the Roanoke, VA metro.
