How many people move from Burlington to Augusta
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 14 people a year (±25) moved from Chittenden County, VT, home to Burlington, to Richmond County, GA, home to Augusta. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Too few went the other way to estimate. Movers from Chittenden County make up 0.1% of the 16,147 people a year who moved into Richmond County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 721 people a year (±726) moving from Vermont to Georgia and about 597 people a year (±435) from Georgia to Vermont — a net gain for Georgia of about 124 people a year.
