Newport CDP, NH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Newport CDP is a mid-size town in New Hampshire, with 5,185 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #25 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 42.5 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 Newport CDP earn a median of $75,849 a year, 3.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Newport CDP is valued at $191,000, 37% below the national figure and 30% below the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,261 a month, 10.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
