Alburgh, VT population, income and ZIP codes

Alburgh village is a very small community in Vermont, with 586 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #67 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 32.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Alburgh village earn a median of $62,955 a year, 19.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% below the $65,898 median for the 48 Vermont cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Alburgh village is valued at $175,000, 42.3% below the national figure and 29% below the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,620 a month, 15.2% above the national figure, or roughly $19,440 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Alburgh village is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 30.9% of median income while homes cost only 2.8× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 586 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Alburgh village against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
