What it’s like
The place. Unionville is a community in Orange County, in the north-central part of Virginia. Its residents live alongside neighbors who know one another in a quiet setting shaped by rivers, farmland and wooded hills. The town sits within easy reach of older towns and historic sites that tell the story of the region.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in the building trades. Others work in shops and retail, or in professional and business services. Unemployment is a little lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs in the area dipped slightly last year.
Things to do. Shenandoah National Park, the best known of the places nearby, is a longer drive away and offers mountain scenery and hiking. The North Anna River is a short drive away, and Lake Anna State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away. The weather is cold in winter, with some snow, and warm in summer, so spring and autumn are pleasant times to visit these places.

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