Williamsburg, Virginia

Williamsburg’s $1,047 typical one bedroom rent is higher than the recent Southern cities in this queue, yet older household pressure is lower. The local data lists $1,064 transportation, $248 utilities, $460 groceries, $436 healthcare, $225 dining out, and Required car need. A home near a park or historic destination can still ask for a clear weekly driving plan.

The published older household rows are 6.9 percent below poverty, 22.4 percent renter occupied, 23.5 percent with high housing costs, and $87,813 median income for a householder age 65 and older. Those figures do not describe every household, while the renter oriented budget excludes property tax and uses regional estimates for several categories.

Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center describes a 145 bed facility with a Certified Primary Stroke Center, STEMI Center, Gold Level Geriatric Emergency Room, and a full range of medical care. That makes Sentara useful to investigate when comparing a home, care network, and emergency route, not a promise about appointments, outcomes, or every specialty.

Williamsburg lists four mapped hospitals within 12 km, two HRSA adult primary care likely sites within 15 miles, 23 pharmacies, and 88 selected Medicare listed specialists. The nearest HRSA site is 11.8 miles away, while the nearest Medicare emergency and CMS rated hospital are 2.5 miles away. A facility count and a mapped distance still need a personal route and coverage review.

Williamsburg’s healthcare, hospital, and emergency access rows are Excellent, while primary care is Very Good. Sentara’s official description gives a local institution a clear emergency and specialty starting point. The next question is whether a chosen clinician, insurance network, pharmacy, appointment time, and return route fit the household.

The nearest Medicare emergency hospital and the nearest CMS rated hospital are both mapped at 2.5 miles, with the CMS hospital showing 5 of 5 stars. The nearest HRSA adult primary care likely site is 11.8 miles away. These facility rows answer different questions, so review the actual care journey rather than treating the closest number as the whole care picture.

The verified 2024 Williamsburg Police Department annual agency rows report 193 violent crimes per 100,000 and 1,230 property crimes per 100,000. The local display labels both rows Very Good. The figures cover a defined period and do not tell a household how a particular home, parking area, evening route, or nearby destination will feel.

Williamsburg’s mapped hazard rows are Low for natural disaster, flood, heat wave, storm, and wildfire risk, with drought Low to Medium. Five FEMA major disaster declarations are mapped in the county since 2000. Low hazard labels reduce some planning pressure, but flood maps, trees, insurance, drainage, heat, winter surfaces, and route choices still deserve an address level review.

Williamsburg’s climate ledger shows an 89°F average summer high, 53 days above 90°F, 77 percent humidity, and Poor allergy levels. Summer heat feel is Very Good, and April, May, June, September, and October are the best listed months. The warmer season can support gardens, parks, and historic walking, while shade, water, cooling, and indoor alternatives still matter.

Winter averages a 33°F low with 59 days below freezing and a Good winter comfort row. Air quality is Excellent and modeled fine particle pollution is Good at 5.9 micrograms per cubic meter for the 2021 to 2025 average. Mild coastal influence does not remove the need to review heating, entry surfaces, allergies, storms, and the household’s comfort with changing seasons.
