What it’s like
The place. Wheelock is a very small Vermont town in Caledonia County, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Incomes run below the county's, and winters are long, cold and very snowy compared with most of the country, while summers stay mild. A four-year degree is held by a good share of adults, and the typical drive to work is a fairly long one.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many. Across Caledonia County, some of the largest workplaces are Northeastern VT Regional Hospital, Weidmann Electrical Technology and the Kingdom East Unified Union School District. Unemployment in the county is low and has eased slightly over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Mathewson State Forest, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is The Museum of Everyday Life, a small museum. Lake Willoughby is a longer drive, a lake in the hills that draws people for its scenery. With this much snow, the winters suit those who like to be outdoors in the cold.

Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.
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 Caledonia 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 Caledonia County.
