What it’s like
The place. Warren is a small community in Worcester County, and its residents are younger on average than people in much of the country. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, manufacturing and shops also employing many. Few work from home. Across Worcester County, the largest workplaces include UMass Memorial Health, the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and Worcester Schools.
Things to do. Several wooded and watery places are a short drive away, including Brimfield State Forest, a protected area, and Quaboag Pond, a lake. The Ware River is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Quabbin Reservoir is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Warren’s census tracts, 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 Worcester County and the Worcester, MA-CT metro.
