Virginia County Area & Size Rankings

Understanding Virginia’s county areas

The land-area range runs from Falls Church city at 2 mi² to Pittsylvania County at 969 mi². The largest has 473.6 times the land area of the smallest and accounts for 2.5% of the combined county land in Virginia. Compare with every state’s largest county.

The median county-equivalent land area is 310 mi², below the national median of 604.5 mi². The median describes the middle of the county size distribution; it does not describe how people or development are distributed. A state with a few very large counties can have a much smaller median than its largest entry suggests.

Where water changes the picture

Accomack County has the most assigned water area, at 860.7 mi². Poquoson city has the highest water share, with water making up 80.4% of its total area. Water area and water percentage answer different questions: the first measures an amount, while the second measures the mix of land and water.

Across all 133 entries, water accounts for 7.7% of the combined total area. This is calculated from the summed land and water measurements, rather than averaging county percentages, which would give each small and large county equal weight.

Where people live

An estimated 8,880,107 people lived in Virginia on July 1, 2025 (+2.9% since 2020), or 2.6% of the national total in this dataset. Fairfax County is the most populous county equivalent, with 1,167,873 residents — 13.2% of the state. The largest by land, Pittsylvania County, has 59,490.

Across the state there are 225 people per square mile of land. County densities range from 10,757 in Alexandria city to 5.6 in Highland County; the median county equivalent has 109. Switch the map above to density to see where the state’s population concentrates.

Compare the largest and smallest county equivalents in Virginia to see land, water, and total area on the same scale.

These calculations use the 2026 Census county records listed below. County-equivalent boundaries vary between states; area alone does not measure population, density, or usable land. See coverage and calculation rules.
