What it’s like

The place. Dracut is a town in Middlesex County where most homes are lived in by their owners, at a much higher rate than is typical across the country. Residents are somewhat older than in many places, and incomes are comfortable but below the county's, which includes some of the wealthiest suburbs in the state. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow fall in good measure over the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing a good share. Among the largest workplaces in town are Dracut Schools, Hannaford and The Arbors at Dracut. Jobs across Middlesex County have slipped a little over the past year, and unemployment there is a touch lower than a year earlier. Commutes are fairly long, and some residents work from home.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Walden Pond is a well-known reservoir and the Merrimack River is a river nearby, both a longer drive away. Boston is also a longer drive away and offers the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, one of the country's major art museums, and Fenway Park, the baseball stadium.
