How We Determined The Largest Cities In New Hampshire
We've been ranking and dissecting cities in the Granite State for over 4 years now -- making this actually the fourth time we've run the numbers. We always use the best data, the US Census. In this case, that means we are using the American Community Survey.
It what is probably the most simple analysis we run each year, we ranked every place in New Hampshire from biggest to smallest. The biggest city this year? That would be Manchester.
The smallest? Troy, although there are places smaller than 1,000 people not listed here, so keep that in mind as we take a look at the top ten.
Now on to numbers 11-100 Biggest in New Hampshire
