Farmville Demographics

I personally did not know what to expect moving from Missouri to Farmville, Virginia. However, since being here it has its similarities to the hometown. It is not a very big town with only having a estimated population of 7,831. There is not a lot of activities to do around the town. There is a few more places to eat in Farmville. I would say the towns income situation is also very similar at $56,281 annually for a household. The majority of the population is white with African American following behind. In Farmville there is not a lot of married couples in the area probably due to all the college students with Longwood and Hampton Sydney. The primary language in Farmville that is used is English. The most outstanding demographic about Farmville is the poverty rate. The overall poverty rate is 35.94%, the male poverty rate is 35.31% and the female poverty pate is 36.35%. The number of veterans in Farmville is 272, with 242 being males and the other 30 being females. Farmville overall is a very poor town with the majority of the towns income comes from Longwood and Hampton Sydney students. I find it a nice place to stay but secretly has a lot of history.
