Location of redditors on r/vermont

Submitted by Soci3talCollaps3 t3_100czc7 in vermont

I was curious and thought it'd be fun to see roughly how many of us live in Vermont vs out, and if not here, then where. Also, drop your state or country (I know we at least have some Canadians on here) in the comments and why you joined the subreddit if out of state.

I live in Alabama, but I had a nice dream about living in Vermont once, and don’t regret subscribing to the subreddit.

I'm in NY, literally 1 mile from the VT border. I think we spend more time in VT than NY for both recreation and shopping

Florida here. I joined the sub when planning a vacation and you’re all so lovely that I never left the sub. Your state is beautiful, and I can’t wait to visit again.

As a transplant from the Midwest west of the Mississippi, your options are vexing...half of the midwestern states are west of the Mississippi.

I joined after I moved - I like learning about all things Vermont.

Lol. I was chuckling at myself when I made the list thinking that I probably screwed a bunch of people in the middle North of the country.

Let's do one for actual counties in Vermont... Obviously most people are probably in Chittenden, but I'm down in Bennington county

Yep, I'm in The Big Chit. Grew up in Addison though, and I really miss it.

5th generation Vermonter with nothing against transplants or visitors that know how to be mutually kind and respectful with us and each other. I very much enjoy being exposed to all of the different perspectives about this state and its culture in this sub, both from the Vermonters and even more so from those who are visiting- I have learned a lot about this great little state in this sub; thank-you to the MODS who put in the work to make it possible.

I’m in New England and like to know what’s going on in the surrounding states.

This is me, follow all 6 subs. We all agree that the left lane is for passing, not the fast lane.

I'm one of those Massholes with a second home in VT. I don't AirBnB it, and plan to move to VT full time in 2026, so back off.

In the meantime do you rent it out long term to help the housing crisis?

syphax t1_j2jcmzk wrote

Given that we are there frequently and erratically, this is not feasible at this time.

teachlikeascientist t1_j2hs4ke wrote

Also even if you did AirBnB it, it would be better than letting your house sit empty for the other 48 weekends a year your not here because it would bring people and $$ into "your" community.

syphax t1_j2jcwzl wrote

Damned if you do, damned if you don't... Your estimate of 4 weekends a year is... low, by a large margin.

I bet you could easily do a vacation home swap with a Vermonter!

Oh I’d love too! I wish I had a couple months cabin stay up there !

Is there something you recommend folks check out when driving from Burlington to Montreal? I'd love to turn my next trip up there into a longer exploration of that area.

anom_k t1_j2t0qlb wrote

It's a bit out of the Way, but Magog, Sutton and Orford areas are quite nice. Nothing to interesting directly between Burlington and Montreal though

My ex is from VT and the subreddit was suggested to me so I thought I’d check it out!

Masshole here.

We just love visiting VT and try to go up at least 4-6 times a year. Got married in Stowe last October.

I’m from FL, wife is from VT so we split time between both places now. I was scared at first being landlocked and at altitudes above 100’ but freakin love y’all, no billboards, venomous snakes, nobody litters except whoever drinks those twisted teas on my dirt road… I’m gonna find that sumbitch one day…

Seattle, but we are ready for something different. Visited VT last year, drove all over the entire state, absolutely loved it. We are ready for rural.

My husband is a Vermonter, tho he moved away for college in his mid twenties. I’m Swedish and Finnish, spent a year of high school on VT tho, long ago. We’re thinking of moving up there, but currently reside in Virginia. I just wanted to have an idea of what’s going on 🙂

I think Reddit did this as a whole at one point for a bunch of state subs but I can’t find it. At that time less than 1/2 the sub lived in the state sub.

Great. I was waiting for this comment. Hopefully it will have been done many times. Then I can put together a chart of how this has changed over time.
