What it’s like

The place. Norwich is a small Vermont community on the Connecticut River side of Windsor County, home to far fewer people than most American towns. It is a place of very high homeownership costs, with typical home values well above what many parts of the country see, and very few residents living in poverty. Almost every adult holds a four-year degree, and incomes are likely to run high as well. Winters are cold, with January highs near freezing and lows well below it, and a good deal of snow falls each year. Summers are warm without being hot, with July the warmest month.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others in professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, or shops. Across Windsor County, some of the largest workplaces are the Veterans Health Administration, Hartford School District and Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center. Unemployment across the county is low and unchanged from a year earlier, and the number of jobs has barely moved. The typical commute is short, and a modest share of people work from home.

Things to do. In or beside town, the Hood Museum of Art is an art museum, and the Montshire Museum of Science is a science museum. The Green is a park in town where people can walk or sit outdoors. A short drive away, Quechee State Park is a protected natural area, and a longer drive leads to Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park.
