Living in Newport



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.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 7.50% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Newport has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Newport a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
