What it’s like
The place. Virgin is a very small town in Washington County, Utah, where almost everyone owns the home they live in. Homes here are worth more than across much of the country, and household incomes in the county are around the middle of what many American communities see. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Washington County, the largest workplaces include St. George Regional Hospital, Utah Tech University and Washington County itself. The county added jobs over the past year, and unemployment has held steady compared with a year earlier. A typical commute takes a fairly short drive.
Things to do. Quail Creek State Park and Ash Creek are both a short drive away, good for time by the water, and Blackridge Wilderness is close by for open country on foot. A longer drive brings you to Zion National Park, one of the best known parks in the country. Winters are cold and mostly dry, summers are very hot, and rain and snow are both light through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Virgin’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. 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 Washington County and the St. George, UT metro.
