"What is New Hampshire" 2011 edition

The Center this week published the latest edition of "What is New Hampshire?", our annual compilation of graphs and data on the people, strengths and challenges of the state. For this year's edition, we've added a new selection of interactive maps which illustrate much of the data upon which the full report is based. You can examine changes in the state's population from 1960 to today, and compare communities across a range of demographic measures, including education, income, median age, and other indicators. The maps are intended to give users a more hands-on way of understanding the state's communities and its people.  Let us know what you think!

Latest presentations and reports

Visit our website, nhpolicy.org, to catch up on some of our latest work, including Policy Notes on recent state pension reform and analysis of the new state budget. We also post copies of all our presentations to outside groups, including Director Steve Norton's recent presentation to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on the changing face of New Hampshire and his talk at Dartmouth-Hitchcock's "Mapping the Aging Maze" conference.
