What it’s like

The place. Sharon is a very small town in Hillsborough County, with a population too small to fill a single large neighborhood elsewhere. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and incomes run above the county's, with relatively few households living below the poverty line. Homes are valued well above what is typical across much of the country, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being hot, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.

Work. Residents work mainly in professional and business services, other services, manufacturing, and schools, hospitals and social care. Across Hillsborough County, the largest workplaces include Southern New Hampshire University, Catholic Medical Center and BAE Systems. Commutes tend to run on the long side, and a fair number of people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, though the county has somewhat fewer jobs than it did the year before.

Things to do. The Wapack Trail runs in or beside town, and the Midstate Trail is a short drive away, so walking and hiking are close at hand. A short drive also brings you to Miller State Park, a protected area, and to the Gridley River and Pearly Lake for time by the water. For a museum, the Currier Museum of Art is a longer drive away.
