The Vermont Roots Migration research is an on-going project of the Center and our collaborators. Here we explore the past, present and future of issues related to out-migration from Vermont, with a particular focus on the concerns about youth leaving the state.
Reports
The Vermont Roots Phase 1 Technical Report (PDF) is based on a survey of 3,692 respondents – ages 15 to 91 – who attended high school while residents of Vermont. More than half the respondents have since left the state (51.5%), nearly one-third are people who have remained in the state (30.5%) and the remainder (18%) are people who lived outside of the state for at least one year and returned to Vermont to reside.
