Johnson village, VT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Johnson village is a small town in Vermont, with 1,668 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #34 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 22.5 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 Johnson village earn a median of $48,355 a year, 38.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below the $65,898 median for the 48 Vermont cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Johnson village is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $976 a month, 30.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,712 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 38.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
A median age of 22.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
The Census withheld home value for Johnson village because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
