On the map you can pick out the trend of the rapidly growing Richmond suburbs, especially New Kent County (an exurb county east of Richmond).
There's been a minor trend, accelerated by the pandemic and rise of remote work, of people in NOVA moving to the Richmond area in search of cheaper (and sometimes better) housing. It has gotten to the point where some Richmond natives are getting concerned by transplants.
Personally I wouldn't make that kind of move: I'm very much a Northerner at heart, and Richmond is 100% a bona fide Southern city, as opposed to NOVA which is a borderland between North and South, at least in the young-people neighborhoods.
