Vermonters are tired of paying more to live here — and it's time for a change.
Say Vermont is not an
affordable place to live.
In UNH's June 2026 Green Mountain State Poll, 86% of respondents described Vermont as “not very” or “not at all” affordable.
A $1,000 surprise bill
would be a problem.
41% of respondents say they would have a problem paying the full amount of an unexpected $1,000 expense right away.
Say they're likely to leave
Vermont within five years.
42% of respondents say they are very or somewhat likely to move outside Vermont in the next five years.
Poll sources and methodology
Affordability: 52% said “not very affordable.” 34% said “not at all affordable.”
Unexpected expense: 53% would not have a problem. 6% did not know or declined to answer.
Moving: 54% said they were not very or not at all likely to leave. 4% were unsure.
Now's our chance to elect leaders who support:
- Affordable healthcare, to keep us well.
- Housing that families can actually afford.
- A state minimum wage that keeps up with the cost of living.
- Accessible, affordable childcare.
Time for a Change PAC is supporting candidates who are committed to making life more affordable.
