West Rutland CDP, VT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

West Rutland CDP is a small town in Vermont, with 2,144 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #26 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 85% 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 West Rutland CDP earn a median of $53,373 a year, 32% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below the $65,898 median for the 48 Vermont cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in West Rutland CDP is valued at $178,300, 41.2% below the national figure and 27% below the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,051 a month, 25.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.6% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.4% 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.
