What it’s like
The place. Rindge is a small town in Cheshire County, in the southwest corner of New Hampshire. Its residents are younger than in much of the state, and household incomes run well above the county's. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home is valued well above what many people would expect for the region. Winters are cold, with January highs just below freezing and lows well under it, while July brings warm days. Precipitation, rain and melted snow together, is fairly generous across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. In town, Franklin Pierce University is the largest workplace, followed by grocery employers such as Demoulas Super Markets and Hannaford. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment in the county is low, though the county has seen slightly fewer jobs than a year earlier.
Things to do. Rhododendron State Park, a botanical garden, is a short drive away, and the Midstate Trail, also a short drive off, offers walking in the woods. Pearly Lake and Lake Monomonac lie in or beside town, for time by the water. For a museum visit, the Fitchburg Art Museum is a longer drive away.

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