Ossipee is a very small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 4,567 people and two associated neighborhoods, Ossipee is the 97th largest community in New Hampshire. Much of the housing stock in Ossipee was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Ossipee economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Ossipee, where the median household income is $73,050.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.67% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Ossipee is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Ossipee’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Ossipee has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Ossipee a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

The overall education level of Ossipee is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 28.58% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Ossipee in 2022 was $47,759, which is middle income relative to New Hampshire, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $191,036 for a family of four. However, Ossipee contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
