What it’s like
The place. Acworth is a very small hill town in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and homes are valued well above what the same money buys in many parts of the country. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm and fairly mild by comparison.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and the building trades close behind. Across Sullivan County, some of the largest workplaces are Whelen Engineering, Sturm, Ruger & Co and the Claremont School District. Commutes are long for most people who travel to a job, and only a small share work from home.
Things to do. Pillsbury State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is the nearest place for woods and water. The Fort at Number 4, a museum, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Lake Sunapee is a longer drive away and suits a day by the water.

Natural hazards
- Ice stormsRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Sullivan County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Sullivan County and the Lebanon, NH-VT metro.
