Hillsborough County, not Peterborough
Hillsborough County context, not Peterborough figures
These are Hillsborough County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Peterborough measurements.
- Establishments in Hillsborough County11,028
- Employment at those establishments, Hillsborough County186,868
- Covered employment, Hillsborough County201,342
- Average annual pay, Hillsborough County$79,660
- Average weekly wage, Hillsborough County$1,532
- Housing units permitted, Hillsborough County872
- Of those, single family, Hillsborough County427
- County product, 2024, Hillsborough County$38,132,657,000
- County product change over the prior year, Hillsborough County3.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Hillsborough County$92,223
Every figure in this section is published for Hillsborough County as a whole and is not a measurement of Peterborough. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Peterborough questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Peterborough, New Hampshire?
2,539, in 1,394 households. Peterborough CDP covers 4.77 square miles of land, which is 533 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Peterborough in?
Hillsborough County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.

$85,833. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $379,300. Median gross rent is $1,515 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Peterborough businesses?
27 7(a) approvals totalling $10.5 m, across 12 lenders, median approval $117,500, plus 6 504 approvals worth $1.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Peterborough, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Peterborough borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for Peterborough. only 3 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page Peterborough figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Hillsborough County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Peterborough.
Is zoning published for Peterborough?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
