Living in Hillsborough



Hillsborough is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 5,984 people and two associated neighborhoods, Hillsborough is the 63rd largest community in New Hampshire.

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

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

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.13% 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, Hillsborough is worth considering.

In Hillsborough, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 36.20 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

As is often the case in a small town, Hillsborough doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The education level of Hillsborough citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 23.89% of adults in Hillsborough have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Hillsborough in 2022 was $38,203, 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 $152,812 for a family of four. However, Hillsborough contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

The people who call Hillsborough home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups.
