What it’s like
The place. Carroll is a very small town in Coos County, and it is one of the older places in the state, with a population whose typical age is well above that of most of the country. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and typical home values run high for the area, while incomes in the county are modest. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in the building trades. Across Coos County, some of the largest workplaces are Omni Mount Washington Resort, Androscoggin Valley Hospital and the White Mountains Regional School District. The county has lost a few jobs over the past year, and the typical commute is moderate, with few people working from home.
Things to do. The Zealand River runs in or beside town, and the Saco River and Little River are a short drive away. Mount Washington State Park and Bretton Woods Mountain Resort, a ski area, are also a short drive off. Franconia Notch State Park is a longer drive away, a protected area in the mountains.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Coos County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Coos County and the Berlin, NH metro.
