Summary
Vermont’s got a serious brain drain problem—over 40% of residents are considering leaving, with 60% of young adults under 35 planning to pack up in five years. Rising costs in housing, healthcare, and childcare are pushing them out, especially as waitlists for affordable childcare remain long and monthly expenses still exceed $1,000. The state’s aging demographics and shrinking birthrate are compounding the issue, while schools see plummeting enrollment and ballooning per-student costs. Many are eyeing southern states or neighboring New Englanders like New Hampshire and Maine—leaving Vermont’s future uncertain as its own youth flee for greener pastures.
