What it’s like
The place. Nottingham is a small, rural New Hampshire town where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes run a little above the county's. Very few residents live below the poverty line, and a four-year degree is common among adults. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings the warmest days, and precipitation is steady through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Rockingham County, some of the largest workplaces are Lonza Portsmouth, Exeter Hospital and Sig Sauer. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Pawtuckaway State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the closest large stretch of open land for walking and time outdoors. The Bean River runs in or beside town, and the North River is a short drive off. Star Speedway, a race track, is also a short drive away, and for a longer outing, Canobie Lake Park is an amusement park a longer drive away.
