South Hero CDP, VT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
South Hero CDP is a very small community in Vermont, with 183 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #133 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 44.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 South Hero CDP earn a median of $118,750 a year, 51.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 80% above the $65,898 median for the 48 Vermont cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in South Hero CDP is valued at $442,900, 46% above the national figure and 81% above the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 183 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare South Hero CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for South Hero CDP 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.
