What it’s like
The place. Windham is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and the population sits in the middle years, neither especially young nor especially old. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and rain and snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in manufacturing and in the building trades. The largest workplaces in town include the Windham School District, Shaws Supermarkets and Catholic Charities. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home, while unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year.
Things to do. Yankee Cannonball and Canobie Corkscrew, both well-known tourist attractions, are in or beside town, and Canobie Lake Park, an amusement park, is a short drive away. America's Stonehenge, an archaeological site, is also a short drive off. For a day on the water, the Souhegan River is a short drive away, and the Merrimack River is a longer drive.

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.
