Vermont’s 14 counties, by the numbers
Every county’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:
- Concentrated. Half of Vermont’s 647,464 residents live in just 4 of 14 counties, and the five largest hold 61.6% of the total. Census PEP 2023
- Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 1.6×, and the 7 highest-income counties average 9.0% in poverty against 12.3% for the 7 lowest. Census SAIPE 2023
- Mostly small. Half of Vermont’s counties have fewer than 37,452 residents, and half report a median household income below $73,291 — a few metros lift the statewide totals well above both. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
- Lopsided density. Only 4 of 14 counties are denser than Vermont’s statewide average of 70 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER
