St. Albans city, VT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

St. Albans city is a mid-size town in Vermont, with 6,910 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #11 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in St. Albans city earn a median of $53,370 a year, 32% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 20.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in St. Albans city is valued at $245,600, 19.1% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,166 a month, 17.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,992 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 51.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
