Vergennes city, VT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Vergennes city is a small town in Vermont, with 2,571 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #23 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 45 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 Vergennes city earn a median of $85,417 a year, 8.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vergennes city is valued at $263,500, 13.2% below the national figure and 7% above the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,040 a month, 26% below the national figure, or roughly $12,480 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
