What it’s like
The place. Pomfret is a very small Vermont town, with a population that would fit comfortably in a single school auditorium. Most homes are lived in by their owners, far more than in many places, and household incomes run above the county's, with fewer people living in poverty than you might expect. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest, mild and comfortable.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and banks, insurance and property. Across Windsor County, some of the largest workplaces are the Veterans Health Administration, Hartford School District and Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center. The commute is a modest one, and unemployment across the county is low and unchanged from a year earlier.
Things to do. Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as are Quechee State Park and Silver Lake State Park. For a bigger outing, Killington Ski Resort is a longer drive away, and the Hood Museum of Art is a longer drive too.

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