What it’s like
The place. Deerfield is a small New Hampshire town where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and the people who live there tend to be older than in much of the country. Household incomes run above the county's, and a larger share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow as well.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops and the building trades. A good number work from home, and those who travel to a job face a fairly long commute. Among the largest workplaces in Deerfield are The Inn at Deerfield, a residential care facility, and Broadmarsh Growers, a wholesale nursery stock business.
Things to do. Pawtuckaway State Park and Bear Brook State Park are both protected areas a short drive away, good for walking and time outdoors. The Little Suncook River also runs a short drive from town. For a longer outing, the Currier Museum of Art is a museum a longer drive away.
