What it’s like
The place. Windsor is a very small town in Hillsborough County, with far fewer residents than most places people think of as towns. Almost every home is lived in by its owners, and the typical home value is well above what many older homeowners elsewhere in the country would expect. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild and warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing many. Across Hillsborough County, some of the largest workplaces are Southern New Hampshire University, Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Hospital. The typical commute is a long one, and household incomes across the county are above those in much of the country.
Things to do. Water is the main draw close to town. Highland Lake and Island Pond are lakes a short drive away, and Pillsbury State Park, a protected area, is also a short drive away. The Contoocook River is a longer drive away for those who want a day out on a larger river.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Hillsborough County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Hillsborough County and the Manchester-Nashua, NH metro.
