What it’s like
The place. Milan is a small town in Coos County, in the north of New Hampshire, where residents are older than in most of the country and nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect for the area. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July brings warm days that are comfortable rather than hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in other services and in government. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a long one, since the larger workplaces are spread across the county. Among the biggest are Androscoggin Valley Hospital, White Mountains Regional School District and the Omni Mount Washington Resort. Jobs across the county have slipped a little over the past year, and unemployment there has eased slightly.
Things to do. Milan Hill State Park is in or beside town, and Jericho Mountain State Park is a short drive away. Cedar Pond, a lake, is also close by, and the Androscoggin River is a longer drive for anyone who wants time on a larger stretch of water.

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