The largest migration to Vermont came from New York, followed by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Florida and Connecticut, according to an article in yesterday's Burlington Free Press based on U.S. Census Bureau 2010 American Community Survey estimates. The article explained that of the recent movers to Vermont,

- 3,600 came from Massachusetts.
- 2,700 came from New Hampshire.

The median age of people moving into Vermont from other states was 25, aso the 2010 survey.
