On second thought... I may be off on that last point
From data published by UVa related to its Class of 2020, it looks like 5 students went there from Northampton County (which has a population of about 12,000). In comparison, Tazewell County sent 3 kids to UVa from an overall population of 41,000.
I'd be willing to bet that all 8 of these particular students are from relatively moderate or higher income families within those localities, but it also suggests that a major difference exists between the area "west of Roanoke" and the rest of the Commonwealth that may be unique to UVa.
