What it’s like
The place. Warren is a small Vermont town where most homes are lived in by their owners, and the population skews older than in much of the country. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and a large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is the warmest and stays comfortably mild.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, which fits a town beside a ski area, while others work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, or in professional and business services. A good number work from home. Across Washington County, some of the biggest employers are the State of Vermont, Central Vermont Hospital and Norwich University, and unemployment there has held steady over the past year.
Things to do. Sugarbush Resort, a ski area, is in or beside town, and Mad River Glen, another ski area, is a short drive away. For quieter time outdoors, Camels Hump State Park and Camels Hump State Forest are both a short drive away. With so much snow each winter, the hills are well suited to skiing, and the forests and parks give a place to walk when the weather turns milder.

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