What it’s like
The place. Bridport is a small Vermont town in Addison County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Addison County, some of the largest workplaces are Middlebury College, Porter Hospital and the Addison Central Unified Union School District. Commutes are fairly long, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Fort Crown Point, a fort, and Fort Saint-Frédéric, another fort, are both a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Lake George, a lake, and to Fort Ticonderoga, one of the best known forts in the region. Lake Dunmore, also a lake, is a longer drive as well.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Addison County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Addison County.
