Windsor CDP, VT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Windsor CDP is a small town in Vermont, with 1,961 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #28 of 179 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 45.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Windsor CDP earn a median of $48,371 a year, 38.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% 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 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Windsor CDP is valued at $158,800, 47.7% below the national figure and 35% below the $245,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $988 a month, 29.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,856 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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. 47.4% 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.
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.
