Living in Franklin



Franklin is a somewhat small city located in the state of New Hampshire. With a population of 8,790 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: 7.92% 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.

The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Franklin has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Franklin a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One downside of living in Franklin, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.14 minutes every day commuting to work.
