Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Vermont

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Vermont, particularly in the rural areas of the Northeast Kingdom and along the Canadian border, tends toward higher average household sizes (2.8–3.2+), likely reflecting larger family households in agricultural and less densely populated communities. The Burlington metro area and central Vermont corridors display notably lower household sizes (1.8–2.2), consistent with higher concentrations of single-person households, college students, and smaller urban living arrangements. A distinct cluster of very low household sizes (1.5–1.8) appears in the southeastern corner near Brattleboro and in select areas around Montpelier, while scattered zip codes in the south-central region show pockets of higher values amid otherwise moderate surroundings.
