What it’s like
The place. Littleton is a small community where most homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners, a different balance from much of the country. Household incomes run well below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, and summers are warm without being hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in town are the Littleton School District, the Littleton Consumer Cooperative and the Veterans Health Administration. Commutes are short, and unemployment across Grafton County is low and has slipped a little over the past year.
Things to do. The White Mountain National Forest, a large protected area, and Franconia Notch State Park are both a longer drive away. Closer to town, the Gale River and Moore Reservoir are a short drive away for time by the water. Profile Lake, also a longer drive, is another quiet spot to visit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Littleton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Grafton County and the Lebanon, NH-VT metro.
