B. ABOUT CONCORD: The City of Concord is a community of 45,000 residents and
occupies 67 square miles in the heart of central New Hampshire. The City is the third
largest municipality by population in the State. Concord is the State capital, seat of
County Government, and host to multiple federal facilities.
Colonial settlement occurred in 1725. Concord became a City in 1853. Since 1970,
the City has operated under a City Manager form of government. Uniquely, Concord
has two public school districts (the Concord School District and Merrimack Valley
School District). Both are separate and autonomous from the City. Due to this
unique circumstance, the City has two municipal tax rates.
The City’s 67 square miles consists of urban spaces and rural landscapes, historic
architecture, diverse housing stock, and walkable neighborhoods. A desire to
preserve the natural environment has been a strong focus of the planning tradition of
the City since its settlement. Today, the City has more than 8,000 acres of
conservation lands.
Located at the intersections of Interstates 89, 93, and 393, Concord is the regional
center of employment, commerce, services, healthcare, as well as arts and culture in
central New Hampshire. As such, the City’s day time population increases to
approximately 90,000 people. The City is only an hour drive to the seacoast, White
Mountains, and Lakes Region, and 75 miles to Boston, thus further bolstering its
desirability.
The City’s economic base is anchored by government, healthcare, finance, law, and
professional services, as well as retail and personal services. As of August 2025, the
City’s unemployment rate was 2.8%, which was better than both the State (3.0%)
