Hillsborough is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 5,979 people and two associated neighborhoods, Hillsborough is the 63rd largest community in New Hampshire.

Also of interest is that Hillsborough has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.60% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Hillsborough is worth considering.

One downside of living in Hillsborough is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Hillsborough, the average commute to work is 36.12 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

As is often the case in a small town, Hillsborough doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of people in Hillsborough who are college-educated is somewhat higher than the average US community of 21.84%: 26.76% of adults in Hillsborough have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Hillsborough in 2022 was $40,034, which is lower middle income relative to New Hampshire, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $160,136 for a family of four. However, Hillsborough contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
