What it’s like
The place. Danville is a very small community in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, in Caledonia County. Winters are long, cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot. Homes here are valued well above what many other parts of the country would expect for a place this small, and household incomes across Caledonia County sit a little below the figure for the country as a whole.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Caledonia County, some of the largest workplaces are Northeastern VT Regional Hospital, Kingdom East Unified Union School District and Weidmann Electrical Technology. Unemployment across the county is low and has stayed close to where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, a museum, and the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium are both a short drive away. Harvey's Lake, a reservoir, is also close by for time on the water. For a longer outing, Groton State Forest, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Danville’s census tracts, 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 Caledonia County.
