What it’s like
The place. Wilmington is a very small community in the hills of southern Vermont, in Windham County. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying near freezing, while summers are mild and July is the warmest month. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year, so it is a wet place as well as a cold one.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in town are the Twin Valley Unified School District, Shaws Supermarkets and the Town of Wilmington. Unemployment across Windham County is low, and the county has about the same number of jobs as it did a year earlier.
Things to do. Molly Stark State Park, a protected area in or beside town, is the closest place to get outdoors, and Haystack Mountain Ski Area is a short drive away for winter days on the slopes. The Southern Vermont Natural History Museum is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Bennington Museum and the Clark Art Institute are both museums a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wilmington’s census tracts, 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 Windham County.
