What it’s like
The place. Colebrook is a small community in the far north of New Hampshire, in Coos County, with a population that places it among the smaller towns in the state. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than a comfortable margin would suggest, yet a majority of homes are lived in by their owners. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home. Winters here are long and cold, with January highs well below freezing and lows near zero, and a good deal of snow each year. Summers are mild, with July the warmest month.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, restaurants and hotels, and the building trades. The largest workplaces in town include Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital, the Colebrook School District and the Pittsburg School District. Across Coos County, unemployment has eased slightly compared with a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Mohawk River and Simms Stream both run in or beside town, and Beaver Brook Falls Wayside, a protected area, is close by as well. A short drive takes you to Halls Stream, another river. For a longer outing, Dixville Notch State Park and Umbagog Lake are both a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Colebrook’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. 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.
