Living in Manchester



Manchester is a larger medium-sized city located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 115,141 people and 30 associated neighborhoods, Manchester is the largest community in New Hampshire.

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

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 10.47% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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.

One thing noticeable about Manchester, although not a huge city, is that it has a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. That’s because Manchester is full of single people in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting careers in professional occupations. This makes Manchester a pretty good place for young, educated career starters looking to find many people like themselves, with good opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun.

The overall education level of Manchester citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.26% of adults in Manchester have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.

The per capita income in Manchester in 2018 was $41,067, 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 $164,268 for a family of four. However, Manchester contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
