Newport is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 6,426 people and two associated neighborhoods, Newport is the 56th largest community in New Hampshire.

Of important note, Newport is also a town of artists. Newport has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Newport’s character.

Also of interest is that Newport has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.50% 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.

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, Newport is worth considering.

In terms of college education, Newport is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 27.36% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Newport in 2022 was $35,988, which is low income relative to New Hampshire, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $143,952 for a family of four. However, Newport contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
