What it’s like
The place. Windsor is a small town in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect in a place with a lot of professional work nearby. Winters are cool and short, with little snow, and summers are hot, with steady rain and melted snow spread across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, government, and professional and business services close behind. Within town, Food Lion, Community Electric Cooperative and Walters Grain & Supply are among the largest workplaces. Many people travel a good distance to get to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. The closest outdoor option is Blackwater Ecological Preserve, a protected area a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the James River, a river with a long place in Virginia's history, and to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, a zoo and amusement park. The Chrysler Museum of Art is also a longer drive away, for an afternoon indoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Windsor’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 Isle of Wight County and the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC metro.
