Living in Franklin


Franklin is a somewhat small city located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 8,823 people and two associated neighborhoods, Franklin is the 35th largest community in New Hampshire. Much of the housing stock in Franklin was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic cities in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.27% 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 city 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, Franklin is worth considering.
