Politically and economically, Vermont is very different. Tourism dominates VT. Also much more educated and higher income. And filled with former New Yorkers doing their rural thing, lots of ex-hippies, and tons of weekenders. It's more like far Northern CA.
Vermont is nowhere near any major metros. West Virginia is near DC and Pittsburgh, but not well connected to either. There are a few MARC trains that go from Harpers Ferry to DC but WV refuses to pay for the service, so it may end.
