Data Briefs:
Language
The population profile for New Hampshire is often over-simplified, with a generalization that NH is a homogenous state. There is value in digging deeper and understanding the more complex story that emerges when describing the more than 1.3 million people who live here. This brief, which focuses on languages spoken as reported by the US Census American Community Survey1, is part of a series that reviews some of the state’s characteristics in more detail.
Incarceration
It is well-documented that incarceration rates across the United States are high, with racial and ethnic groups disproportionately represented among incarcerated populations. This brief answers questions about national incarceration trends and reviews the distribution of incarcerated individuals across New Hampshire. However, NH data is limited, which in turn limits what is known about the population involved in NH’s justice system.
Race and Ethnicity
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 here. This brief, which focused on race and ethnicity, is the first in a series that reviews some of these characteristics in more detail.
Reports:

It can focus efforts to embrace diversity, foster inclusion, and promote justice in order to create a more equitable and enriching educational experience for all students in the Granite State.
