Bethlehem CDP, NH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bethlehem CDP is a small town in New Hampshire, with 1,097 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 45.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bethlehem CDP earn a median of $65,556 a year, 16.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below the $77,368 median for the 65 New Hampshire cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bethlehem CDP is valued at $243,000, 19.9% below the national figure and 10% below the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,066 a month, 24.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,792 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
