The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market.

Richmond CDP, VT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Richmond CDP is a very small community in Vermont, with 675 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 36 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Richmond CDP earn a median of $62,240 a year, 20.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Richmond CDP is valued at $261,900, 13.7% below the national figure and 7% above the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,814 a month, 29% above the national figure, or roughly $21,768 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 675 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Richmond CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
