What it’s like
The place. West Windsor is a small Vermont town where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes run well above the county's. Far fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Windsor County, some of the largest workplaces are the Veterans Health Administration, the Hartford School District and Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center. A typical commute is fairly long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Ascutney Mountain Resort, a ski area in or beside town, suits the long snowy winters, and The Hall Art Foundation, a museum, is also in or beside town. A short drive away are Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park, a protected area, and Ascutney State Park, another protected area good for time outdoors.

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.
