Race and Ethnicity (2025)

The population profile for New Hampshire is often over-simplified; conversation typically revolves around New Hampshire’s population being predominantly rural, older, and White. While data supports those generalizations, there is value in digging deeper and understanding the more complex story that emerges when looking at a number of factors that describe the almost 1.4 million people who live here1. This brief, an update to the first in the NHCJE series (published in December 2022), focuses on race and ethnicity, based on the U.S. Census Bureau 2019-2023 American Community Survey (ACS), 5-year estimates.
