North Conway CDP, NH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
North Conway CDP is a small town in New Hampshire, with 2,286 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #43 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 57.5 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 North Conway CDP earn a median of $73,344 a year, 6.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in North Conway CDP is valued at $271,100, 10.6% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,050 a month, 25.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,600 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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. 46.8% 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.
A median age of 57.5 puts North Conway CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
