Median household income, adjusted for inflation, New England states, 2014 and 2024

After a decade of stagnation, beginning in 2014 real median household income has grown in Vermont and the rest of New England. Adjusted for inflation, Vermont’s household income was nearly $83,000 in 2024, up from $72,000 a decade earlier. But most of the growth occurred in the first half of that period: Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island have lost ground since 2019, while growth in the other states has slowed. The U.S. as a whole saw faster growth over the period, but most of it came between 2014 and 2019.
