What it’s like
The place. North Hampton is a small coastal town in Rockingham County where the population skews older than in much of the country, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Incomes run well above the county's, relatively few residents live below the poverty line, and most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January highs near freezing and lows well below it, while summers are pleasantly warm without turning hot. A fair amount of rain and melted snow falls over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehousing and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in North Hampton are Shaws Supermarkets, First Student and Tufts Medicine Care at Home. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a good share of residents work from home. Unemployment across Rockingham County has been a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has edged up.
Things to do. The shoreline is close by: Jenness State Beach is a short drive away, as is Odiorne Point State Park, a protected area along the water. Fuller Gardens, a botanical garden, is also a short drive away. For a bit of history, Fort Stark and Fort McClary are both short drives off, and each is an old fort worth a walk around.

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.
