Hooksett CDP, NH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hooksett CDP is a mid-size town in New Hampshire, with 5,362 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #24 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 Hooksett CDP earn a median of $91,005 a year, 15.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hooksett CDP is valued at $298,900, 1.5% below the national figure and 10% above the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,829 a month, 30.1% above the national figure, or roughly $21,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.1% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
