About this chart

Vermont is one of the smallest and slowest-changing states. Its population was 564,526 in 1990, reached 609,618 in 2000, and then barely moved for two decades, sitting near 625,000 from 2010 to 2019. The estimate jumped to 643,000 in 2020, which reflects the reset to the 2020 census count, and peaked at 647,722 in 2023.

Since that high the estimate has slipped to 644,663 in 2025. Vermont is up 14.2 percent since 1990, 5.7 percent since 2000 and 3.0 percent since 2010. It was 48th among the 50 states in 1990 and 49th in 2000, 2010 and 2025, ahead only of Wyoming. The data are Census Bureau July 1 resident estimates.
