What it’s like
The place. Grafton is a very small community in Windham County, Vermont, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are colder than in most of the country, with the coldest weather in January, while summers are mild and warm, peaking in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a wet year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, or in the building trades. Across Windham County, unemployment is low and a little below where it was a year earlier. Job numbers in the county have held nearly steady over the past year.
Things to do. The William C. Putnam State Forest is a protected area in or beside town, so it is close at hand for walking and time outdoors. Magic Mountain Ski Area, a ski area a short drive away, is a common destination in the colder months. Steamtown, U.S.A., a museum a short drive away, offers a look at the region's railroad history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Grafton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Windham County.
