How does Woodstock compare to other US cities?

Household income 80% higher than other cities
Home value 92% pricier than other cities

Zoom in to just Vermont and the picture shifts: Woodstock ranks #13 of 30 Vermont cities by lowest crime rate, a different read than the national percentile above.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

For each metric we count every US city with population 1,000+ and a non-null value, then compute what share of them fall below Woodstock's value: round(cities-below ÷ total × 100). Safety is inverted (percentile = share of cities with a higher crime rate) so a higher number always means safer. The in-state rank narrows that same crime-rate comparison to only the cities PlainCities tracks in Vermont, breaking ties alphabetically. See the methodology page for the full source-to-figure lineage.
