What it’s like
The place. Millville is a small town in Worcester County where nearly everyone owns their home, and residents skew older than in many places. Incomes sit below the county's, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect, though few people live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, the building trades and manufacturing. Commutes are on the long side, and a modest number of people work from home. Across Worcester County, the largest workplaces include UMass Memorial Health, the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and Worcester Schools.
Things to do. Southwick's Zoo is in or beside town, and the Branch River runs nearby as well. The Stadium Theatre is a short drive away, while Lake Chaubunagungamaug is a longer drive for a day by the water.

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