What it’s like
The place. Newfields is a very small community in Rockingham County, with far fewer people than most towns. Households here earn well above the county's typical income, very few live below the poverty line, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Typical home values are high. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. A typical commute is a fairly long one, though not among the longest. Across Rockingham County, the largest workplaces include Lonza Portsmouth, Exeter Hospital and Lindt & Sprungli USA. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Water is the main feature nearby. The Lamprey River and the Squamscott River run in or beside town, and the Exeter River is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Odiorne Point State Park, a protected area, and to Fort McClary, one of the old forts along the coast.

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 in Newfields’ census tracts, 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 Rockingham County and the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metro.
