If this were Uncle Sam's belt, then indeed Virginia would be in the sunbelt!

When I hear the term "sunbelt", I think of states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona to name a few. Virginia is totally not sunbelt. We don't even have naturally growing palm trees here. I only think the ones in Va Beach were transplanted, not native.

Maybe central and southern part of VA may be more like sunbelt.

Agreed. But generally speaking, VA isn't a Sunbelt state. Just Southern.

Nope. I wouldn't call any area of Virginia sunbelt. It's too far north.

The Upper South is not considered to be part of the sunbelt, although Virginia shares more population, demographic, and economic trends with its southern neighbors than with its neighbors to the north.
