What it’s like
The place. Loudon is a very small community, with a population among the smallest of any town you would look up, and residents who are older than in most places. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect. Homes here are valued well above what is typical across much of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing also employing a good number. Across Merrimack County, the largest workplaces include Concord Hospital, New England College and the Concord School District. Unemployment in the county is low and a little lower than a year ago, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a race track, is a short drive away, as is the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, a museum, and Canterbury Shaker Village, another museum. Lake Winnipesaukee, a lake, is a longer drive. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.

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