Exeter CDP, NH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Exeter CDP is a mid-size town in New Hampshire, with 10,138 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #15 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 44.2 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 Exeter CDP earn a median of $83,862 a year, 6.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $77,368 median for the 65 New Hampshire cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Exeter CDP is valued at $349,300, 15.1% above the national figure and 29% above the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,569 a month, 11.6% above the national figure, or roughly $18,828 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 59.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
