What it’s like
The place. Ferrisburgh is a small Vermont town in Addison County where the people tend to be older than in much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run above the county's, very few residents live below the poverty line, and typical home values are high. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy while summers turn pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in shops. Across Addison County, some of the largest workplaces are Middlebury College, Porter Hospital and the Addison Central Unified Union School District. The usual commute is fairly long, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment is low and has changed very little over the past year.
Things to do. Kingsland Bay State Park lies in or beside town, and Button Bay State Park and Mount Philo State Park are both a short drive away. Lake Champlain, one of the best known lakes in the region, is a longer drive away, as is Shelburne Museum. Together they offer shoreline walks, a hilltop park and an afternoon among art and historic buildings.

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.
