What it’s like
The place. Westmore is a very small town in Orleans County, Vermont, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run above the county's, though a noticeable number of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and a great deal of snow, while July brings pleasantly warm days and the year is fairly wet overall.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, the building trades and manufacturing. Across Orleans County, some of the largest workplaces are North Country Hospital & Health CTR, Galvion and Walmart. Commutes are long, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Willoughby is a lake a short drive away, and Sentinel Rock State Park is a protected area in or beside town. Willoughby State Forest, also protected land, is a short drive away. For an evening out, the Haskell Free Library and Opera House is a theatre a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Winter weatherRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Orleans County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Orleans County.
