Across the 40 places in New Hampshire that we cover, the median is $1,375 and the average $1,397; the figure runs from $815 (Berlin) to $2,254 (Hanover). That is a spread of 2.8 times between the two ends. The state figure is $1,491; 15 of the 40 places are above it and 25 at or below.
The first five are Berlin, Jaffrey, Littleton, Raymond, Tilton Northfield. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: low rent can reflect a smaller job market or older housing stock, so look at income and commute too. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
