What it’s like
The place. Wallingford is a small Vermont community, home to fewer people than many towns in the county. Household incomes here run higher than across Rutland County, and no one in town is counted as living below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and a great deal of snow, while summers are warm and a fair amount of rain and melted snow falls through the year.
Work. People who live in Wallingford work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Rutland County, some of the largest workplaces are Rutland Regional Medical Center, the Rutland City School District and Integrated Manufacturing Rutland. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a small share of residents work from home.
Things to do. Mill River runs in or beside town, and the Robert T. Stafford White Rocks National Recreation Area, a protected area, is a short drive away. Aitken State Forest is also a short drive off. For skiing, Killington Ski Resort is a longer drive away.
