Claremont city, NH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Claremont city is a mid-size town in New Hampshire, with 13,054 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #11 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Claremont city earn a median of $54,520 a year, 30.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $77,368 median for the 65 New Hampshire cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Claremont city is valued at $171,900, 43.3% below the national figure and 37% below the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,077 a month, 23.4% below the national figure, or roughly $12,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
