Sullivan ZIP codes — Sullivan County, New Hampshire

Sullivan County is a small city in New Hampshire, with 43,529 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 47.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sullivan County earn a median of $75,929 a year, 3.3% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sullivan County is valued at $236,300, 22.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,159 a month, 17.6% below the national figure, or roughly $13,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.8% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
