Living in Meredith



Meredith is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 6,764 people and two associated neighborhoods, Meredith is the 50th largest community in New Hampshire.

Meredith home prices are not only among the most expensive in New Hampshire, but Meredith real estate also consistently ranks among the most expensive in America.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 20.55% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Meredith is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Meredith is worth considering.

The education level of Meredith ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Meredith, 43.87% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.

The per capita income in Meredith in 2018 was $48,622, which is upper middle income relative to New Hampshire, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $194,488 for a family of four. However, Meredith contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
