What it’s like
The place. Pittsfield is a small New Hampshire community where residents are somewhat older than in many places, and where fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is common elsewhere. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being extreme, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow arrive in steady amounts through the year.
Work. Residents of Pittsfield work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Across Merrimack County, some of the largest workplaces are Concord Hospital, New England College and the Concord School District. Only a small share of residents work from home, so most head out to a job each day.
Things to do. New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a race track, is a short drive away, as is Canterbury Shaker Village, a museum on the grounds of a historic Shaker community. For time on the water, Bow Lake is a short drive away, and the larger Lake Winnipesaukee is a longer drive. The Soucook River also runs close by.

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 Merrimack County and the Concord, NH metro.
