What it’s like
The place. Mt Holly is a small Vermont town where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, far more than is usual across the country. Household incomes run higher than across Rutland County as a whole, though a noticeable part of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Across Rutland County, some of the largest workplaces are Rutland Regional Medical Center, Powdr, which runs ski facilities, and the Rutland City School District. Commutes are fairly long, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Okemo Mountain, a ski area, is a short drive away, as is the West River, a good spot for time by the water. The Robert T. Stafford White Rocks National Recreation Area, a protected area of forest and rock, is also a short drive away. Killington Ski Resort is a longer drive for those who want a bigger mountain.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Rutland County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Rutland County and the Rutland, VT metro.
