Burlington, VT is covered by 3 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 42,705 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates.

The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Burlington, the median household income averages $80,338 and per-capita income averages $32,112. Poverty rate runs at 44.2% and unemployment at 4.5%. On housing, the average median home value is $446,350 with median rent of $1,561 per month, and 68.2% of occupied units are owner-occupied.
