What it’s like
The place. Weldon is a small town in Halifax County, North Carolina, with a population that makes it a place where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes run somewhat higher than across the county as a whole, though a good number of residents live below the poverty line, and homes are modestly priced. Relatively few adults hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and professional and business services also employing many. Across Halifax County, some of the largest workplaces are ECU Health North Hospital, Reser's Fine Foods and Halifax Regional Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has seen a slight dip in the number of jobs.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Medoc Mountain State Park is a protected area and Lake Gaston is a reservoir, both a longer drive away. Fort Christanna, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive away for those who like history. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Weldon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Halifax County and the Roanoke Rapids, NC metro.
