What it’s like
The place. Winhall is a small town in the mountains of Bennington County, Vermont, with a population that is small even by the standards of the state. Household incomes here run higher than across the county, and few residents live below the poverty line. Homes are priced well above what most people expect to pay in rural Vermont. Winters are cold, with January highs staying below freezing, while summers are mild, and a good deal of rain and melted snow falls over the year.
Work. Residents of Winhall work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Across Bennington County, some of the largest workplaces are Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, Bennington College and Mack Molding Company. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, and the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The ski areas of Bromley Mountain and Stratton Mountain Resort are a short drive away, and the cold, snowy winters suit them well. Emerald Lake State Park is also a short drive away, and the American Museum of Fly Fishing, a museum devoted to the sport, is just as close. For longer walks, the Lye Brook Wilderness, a protected area, is within a short drive.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Bennington 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 Bennington County and the Bennington, VT metro.
