Community Profile

Carroll County, New Hampshire

This report explores how Carroll County's community is changing and what makes it unique compared to the United States as a whole. Civic data about Carroll County's residents, households, and housing is from the American Community Survey (ACS), conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Unlike the Census—which is an exact count of people and households every ten years—ACS statistics are estimated based on a representative survey sample of Carroll County residents. The data is shown over five-year periods, rather than annually, to ensure greater accuracy at small geographies.

Age Demographics in Carroll County, New Hampshire

Race and Ethnicity in Carroll County, New Hampshire

The ACS adheres to definitions of race and ethnicity set forth by the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) standards. These categories are based on self-identification and are "not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically," according to the Census Bureau.

According to the OMB standards, the category of "Hispanic" maps to the concept of ethnicity, not race, and so Carroll County's percentage is not included in the race distribution chart above. A Carroll County resident who identifies as Hispanic may be of any race or combination of races.
