Living in Wolfeboro



Wolfeboro is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 6,609 people and two associated neighborhoods, Wolfeboro is the 55th largest community in New Hampshire.

Housing costs in Wolfeboro are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in New Hampshire.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 13.60% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 Wolfeboro is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

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, Wolfeboro has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Wolfeboro a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

As is often the case in a small town, Wolfeboro doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
