Newport is a very small city located in the state of Vermont. With a population of 4,403 people and two associated neighborhoods, Newport is the 37th largest community in Vermont. Much of the housing stock in Newport was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic cities in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.88% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

One of the benefits of Newport is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 15.92 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

The education level of Newport citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 21.47% of adults in Newport have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Newport in 2022 was $32,167, which is low income relative to Vermont, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $128,668 for a family of four. However, Newport contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
