What it’s like
The place. Pittsfield is a very small Vermont town, with far fewer people than most places, and a population that skews older than most places. Household incomes sit a little below the county's, and the cost of a typical home is well above what those incomes might suggest. Winters here are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, and summers stay mild.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Across Rutland County, some of the largest workplaces are Rutland Regional Medical Center, Powdr, which runs ski facilities, and the Rutland City School District. The typical commute is fairly short, and unemployment across the county is low and has held steady from a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Gifford Woods State Park is a protected area a short drive away, as is the Ottauquechee River. Killington Ski Resort is a longer drive away and suits the snowy winters, and Lake Dunmore is another 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 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.
