ZIP code 03060

ZIP 03060 is a small city in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, with 32,223 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #7 of 246 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 35.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 ZIP 03060 earn a median of $78,068 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 03060 is valued at $338,700, 11.6% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,539 a month, 9.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,468 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 38.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.

ZIP 03060 is tabulated inside Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, one of 34 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 246 across New Hampshire. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 03060 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 03060 reports a median household income of $78,068, 23% below the $101,633 county median, and 16% below the $92,797 typical NH ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $338,700, 8% below the county figure and close to the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,539 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

New Hampshire charges 0% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 03060.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 03060 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
