Ossipee is a very small town located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 4,567 people and two associated neighborhoods, Ossipee is the 97th largest community in New Hampshire. Much of the housing stock in Ossipee was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Ossipee economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Ossipee, where the median household income is $73,050.00.
A relatively large number of people in Ossipee telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 7.67% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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 Ossipee is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.
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, Ossipee is worth considering.
