Who Should / Shouldn’t Move to Essex Junction
Essex Junction genuinely fits movers whose priorities align with its real strengths -- a genuinely low unemployment rate, real in-city transit access, semiconductor/tech-manufacturing or healthcare careers, and buyers comfortable with a genuinely high-cost-but-high-income Burlington-metro market -- more than movers chasing the lowest possible tax burden or the most affordable possible housing.

Higher-Income Buyers Comfortable With a Genuinely High-Cost Market
Given Essex Junction's cited above-national median household income (~$89,257, approximately 18.8% above this project's national comparison figure) alongside its genuinely high median home sale price (~$625,000) and cost of living, buyers with above-national household income who are comfortable with genuinely high housing and tax costs are a real, good fit.
