What it’s like
The place. Lyndeborough is a small town where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and residents are older than in most American communities. Incomes run above the county's, and poverty is uncommon. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the winters are cold and snowy, with warm summers and plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and the building trades also well represented. Across Hillsborough County, the largest workplaces include Southern New Hampshire University, Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Hospital. Commutes are long, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away are Wapack National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and Andy's Summer Playhouse, a theatre. Miller State Park, also a short drive off, is another protected area for time outdoors. For a museum, the Currier Museum of Art is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Hillsborough County, 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 Hillsborough County and the Manchester-Nashua, NH metro.
