As the second-largest county in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Prince William County is a “Community of Choice” with a strong, diverse economic base, where individuals and families choose to live, work and play and businesses choose to locate.

Prince William County is projected to grow to 520,000 by 2030, according to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Prince William County is a young community with a median age of 34. Approximately 8.3% of the population is age 65 or older, and 42% of family households have children younger than 18 years of age.

The government of Prince William County is innovative and forward-thinking.
