Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Vermont

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Vermont's median age landscape reveals a distinct north-south gradient, with the northern tier—particularly the Northeast Kingdom region—displaying notably higher median ages (55–60+), reflecting aging rural populations, while the southern portion of the state shows more variability with pockets of younger demographics. The Burlington metro area in the northwest and the Middlebury area stand out as younger enclaves (mid-20s to low 30s), likely driven by college-age populations at UVM and Middlebury College. A similar college-town effect appears in the southern part of the state near Bennington and Brattleboro, where isolated dark-shaded zip codes contrast sharply with surrounding areas trending into the mid-40s to 50s.
