===Population===
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the state of Vermont had a population of 643,085 in the [[2020 United States census|2020 U.S. census]].<ref name="Census Bureau-2022">{{Cite web |date=2022 |title=QuickFacts: Vermont, United States |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/VT,US/PST040222#PST040222 |access-date=April 29, 2023 |website=Census Bureau}}</ref> Vermont was one of two states with fewer people than the [[Washington, D.C.|District of Columbia]]; [[Wyoming]] was the other.<ref name="Census Bureau-2022" /> The [[center of population]] of Vermont is located in [[Washington County, Vermont|Washington County]], in the town of [[Warren, Vermont|Warren]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020 |title=Centers of Population |url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/reference/cenpop2020/CenPop2020_Mean_ST.txt |access-date=April 29, 2023 |website=Census Bureau}}</ref>

The influx of [[Domestic migration|domestic migrants]] in the 1960s to 1980s brought outlooks different than those of the native-born population. As one example, since 1988, Vermont has consistently voted for Democrats in national elections, despite having been the most Republican state in the nation for more than 100 years after the party's founding in the 1850s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Freedom & Unity: Flatlanders vs. Woodchucks — Vermont Historical Society |url=https://vermonthistory.org/freedom-and-unity-flatlanders-vs.-woodchucks |access-date=April 29, 2023 |website=vermonthistory.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Vermont Presidential Election Voting History - 270toWin |url=https://www.270towin.com/states/Vermont |access-date=2024-04-09 |website=270toWin.com}}</ref>
