What it’s like
The place. Unionville is a small town in Union County, North Carolina, where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Incomes run a little below the county's, and the typical home is valued well above what many people would expect for a town this size. The population is in its middle years, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Across Union County, large workplaces include Union County Public Schools, Atrium Health Union and Tyson Farms. Commutes are long, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Several creeks, including Bull Branch, Watson Creek and Bearskin Creek, are a short drive away. For a day out, Carowinds is an amusement park and Charlotte Motor Speedway is a race track, both a longer drive away. Winters are cool with only a little snow, summers are hot, and rain falls fairly evenly through the year.
