What it’s like
The place. Whiting is a very small Vermont town in Addison County, where the population is small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. The median age sits a little below what many people expect of rural New England, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many larger places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot, so the seasons shape much of daily life.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and the building trades also employing people who live here. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a share of residents work from home. Across Addison County, some of the largest workplaces are Middlebury College, Porter Hospital and the Addison Central Unified Union School District, and unemployment in the county is low.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Lake Dunmore is a lake a short drive away, and Branbury State Park, a protected area on its shore, is also a short drive away. Green Mountain National Forest, another protected area a short drive away, offers woods and trails. For history, Fort Ticonderoga is a fort a short drive away, and Mount Independence, an archaeological site, is a short drive away as well.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Addison 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 Addison County.
