📝 How we sourced this
Population, income, and housing-cost figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (B-series tables). Crime data uses FBI UCR; climate uses NOAA Climate Normals; school counts come from NCES Common Core of Data; permits use the Census Building Permits Survey (BPS). See our methodology page for the full ETL pipeline and OMB / FIPS join keys.
Data Snapshot: Greenville, NH
Greenville is a small town in New Hampshire, home to 1,102 residents per U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 estimates. Greenville households earn a median of $58,095 annually, below the median for U.S. cities on this measure, with a poverty rate of 9.3%. Home values in Greenville run a median of $271,300, and the median resident age is 34.4 years. Educational attainment runs 18.7% of adults with a bachelor's degree or higher. Separately, 53.6% of working-age residents are in the labor force.
Greenville reports a comparatively low crime rate: the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program logs 249.3 total incidents per 100,000 residents here, below the national average (agency reporting is voluntary, so this measures reporting activity, not a definitive danger score). NOAA puts Greenville's yearly average temperature at 45.7°F with 49.5 inches of precipitation per year and 75.4 inches of snowfall.
New Hampshire carries a cost-of-living premium: the state registers 104.2 on a 100-equals-national-average index (Above Average) per BEA Regional Price Parities 2024. A typical two-bedroom carries a HUD Fair Market Rent of $1,894 per month statewide. Statewide, average monthly utility bills in New Hampshire run around $307, per EIA 2023 residential energy data. Natural-hazard exposure scores 69.9 out of 100 on FEMA's National Risk Index (Moderate).
A decision-led reading path
Useful questions to ask of Greenville's data
How this reading path is ordered
This is not a composite city score. It is a city-specific route through the available public records, ordered for this profile so the page starts with questions the joined data can actually answer. The route here runs from reported crime to climate and hazard context to comparison shortlist to housing and income to work and mobility; another city can have a different sequence or fewer supported layers because the source joins are not uniform.
For Greenville, city-specific coverage includes FBI reported-crime rates, commute-mode shares.
No matched row is reported here for within-city Census tract profiles, matched public-school count, local building permits, annual population history; the page leaves those layers out instead of substituting a statewide or national value.
1. Reported crime
What can the FBI record say about safety in Greenville?
Treat this as a reporting-rate comparison, not a prediction of personal risk or a neighborhood-level safety grade. Tourism, daytime population, reporting practices, and variation inside the city are not adjusted away. The state rank and same-state peer table are the narrower comparisons available on this page.
The joined FBI UCR record reports 249.3 violent and property crimes per 100,000 residents, below the 2280.5 national reference used here. The difference is 89% lower in arithmetic terms, but agency participation is voluntary and reporting completeness varies.
What physical conditions frame life in Greenville?
NOAA normals put the annual mean temperature at 45.7°F, with 49.5 inches of precipitation and 75.4 inches of annual snowfall. FEMA's state-averaged National Risk Index score for New Hampshire is 69.9 out of 100. Climate normals describe long-run weather; the FEMA score on PlainCities is a state average of county NRI inputs and combines hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and resilience.
The two sources should not be blended into one comfort or safety score. Use the climate values for baseline conditions and the risk index as a prompt to inspect specific hazards, insurance, and local emergency guidance for a particular address.
Which cities make useful reference points for Greenville?
Within New Hampshire, the closest population matches are Bethlehem (1,097 residents, $65,556 income); Troy (1,086 residents, $90,938 income); Colebrook (1,143 residents, $43,125 income). Outside the state, the closest population matches in this dataset are Rancho Tehama Reserve, CA (1,102 residents); Pierce, CO (1,102 residents); Leland, IL (1,102 residents). A third, income-matched reference set of 6 out-of-state cities sits in the income neighbourhood chart near the Place Dossier plate. These are mechanical peer sets, not claims that the places share a labor market, climate, culture, or metro context.
Use the in-state set to hold state policy and broad price conditions more nearly constant. Use the nationwide size set to ask whether cities with a similar resident count produce different housing, income, or commute outcomes. The income set is a third lens, deliberately separate from population matching. The nationwide peer panel below adds a fourth FBI UCR reporting-rate lens, not personal risk.
How far does income reach against housing in Greenville?
The home-value-to-income reference is comparatively stretched: the ACS median home value is 4.7 times median household income. The ACS poverty estimate is 9.3%, which keeps the citywide median from describing every household.
This is a citywide price-to-income reference, not a mortgage-affordability test; it does not include interest rates, taxes, insurance, household size, or an individual buyer's down payment. Housing value is high relative to the citywide income median. That flags a question for comparison, not a verdict: tenure, household composition, financing costs, and the age of the ACS estimate can all change what a resident actually pays.
These joined records add useful context, but they do not need another full-size panel. Each remains a separate measure with its own geography and source boundary.
Work and mobility
What does the journey to work look like in Greenville?
Mode share answers how workers usually travel; it does not measure congestion, reliability, distance to a particular job, or the quality of transit service. No single mode completely explains the work trip here. The mix is more useful than a one-number commute grade, especially when comparing places where transit, walking, and remote work divide the non-driving share differently.
Driving alone is the largest reported mode at 81.4%. A reliable mean commute time is not available for this row, so the mode shares carry the comparison.

Living Costs & Risk
New Hampshire's BEA cost-of-living index is 104.2 (Above Average; US average = 100, RPP 2024). HUD Fair Market Rent for a typical two-bedroom in the county around Greenville is $1,894/mo. FEMA's National Risk Index, averaged to New Hampshire statewide on PlainCities, rates natural-hazard exposure at 69.9 / 100 (Moderate).
