What it’s like
The place. Andover is a very small Vermont town, with far fewer people than most places, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Typical home values are well above what many people expect in rural New England, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many towns. Winters are cold and long, with January highs hovering around freezing and heavy snow through the season, while summers are warm and the year brings plenty of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and shops. Across Windsor County, some of the largest workplaces are the Veterans Health Administration, the Hartford School District and Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center. Unemployment across the county is low and unchanged from a year earlier, and a typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Winter draws people to the slopes, with Magic Mountain Ski Area and Okemo Mountain both a short drive away. For quieter time outdoors, the West River is a short drive off, and William C. Putnam State Forest, a protected area, is also close by.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Windsor County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Windsor County and the Lebanon, NH-VT metro.
