The National Association of Home Builders recently took a look at which states' housing markets were more (and less) vulnerable for a downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The states that are the most vulnerable are those with "state economies heavily reliant on leisure, entertainment, retail and personal services".
So, basically, the jobs that folks have in Virginia tend to be less vulnerable to a downturn brought on by COVID-19 than in most other states across the country.
