What it’s like
The place. Goshen is a very small town in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Incomes run a little below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and a good deal of snow falls each year. Summers are mild and warm, July being the warmest month, and rain and melted snow are fairly plentiful across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services. A smaller share than in many places hold a four-year degree, and a few work from home. Across Sullivan County, some of the largest workplaces are Whelen Engineering Company, Sturm, Ruger & Co and the Claremont School District.
Things to do. Pillsbury State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town, as does the West Branch Warner River. A short drive away are Lake Sunapee and Mount Sunapee Resort, a ski area. For a longer outing, Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park is a longer drive away.

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.
