Meredith is a somewhat small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 6,829 people and two associated neighborhoods, Meredith is the 50th largest community in New Hampshire.

Housing costs in Meredith are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in New Hampshire.

Also of interest is that Meredith 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: 23.67% 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.

Another notable thing is that Meredith is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Meredith’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Meredith has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Meredith has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Meredith than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Meredith may be for you.

Meredith is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.

The education level of Meredith ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Meredith, 45.88% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.
