What it’s like
The place. Fletcher is a small Vermont town in Franklin County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few people live below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild, with plenty of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, the building trades and manufacturing close behind. Across Franklin County, some of the largest workplaces are Northwestern Medical Center, the Maple Run Unified Union School District and Mylan Technologies. Commutes tend to be long, and a modest number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Chester Alan Arthur State Historic Site, a museum, and Browns River are both a short drive away. Farther afield, Smugglers' Notch is a ski area, and Lake Champlain is a lake, each a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Franklin 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 Franklin County and the Burlington-South Burlington, VT metro.
