What it’s like
The place. Zuni is a small town in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Most homes across the county are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is in the mid-range for the region. Residents tend to be middle-aged, and household incomes are comfortable, with few families living below the poverty line.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, professional and business services, or shops. Unemployment across the county is low and was slightly lower this year than last, though the number of jobs dipped a little. Most people commute by car, and a minority of adults hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. Blackwater Ecological Preserve and Antioch Pines Natural Area Preserve are both in or beside town, so they are easy to reach for a walk. The James River, a river a longer drive away, is one of the best known waterways nearby. Winters are chilly with light snow, and summers are hot and wet, so spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit.
