What is New Hampshire? - Presentations

• Measuring New Hampshire in 2013 (01-04-2013)
  The coming year promises a long list of weighty policy debates in New Hampshire: a new round of state budget negotiations, possible expansion of the Medicaid program, and continued uncertainty about the state and national economies.

   

  The following eight charts aren’t a definitive guide to New Hampshire’s public policy landscape in 2013. Rather, we intend them to provoke questions about some of the challenges facing the state – in the areas of health care, economic growth and public education, among others – in the coming months.

  New figures released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau add context to our understanding of the demographic forces shaping New Hampshire.

  The following maps, prepared by Center staff, illustrate a handful of those data points to get a better grasp of how New Hampshire is changing. The illustrations are intended to provoke ideas, raise questions and inspire further conversations about the policy challenges and opportunities facing the state in the coming years.

• Census 2010: NH's shifting landscape (Slideshow) (03-24-2011)

  Data released earlier this week by the U.S. Census Bureau paints an interesting portrait of the population changes that shaped New Hampshire over the past decade.

  The following maps, prepared by Center staff, illustrate a handful of those data points. They don’t necessarily answer any questions about New Hampshire’s future. But they do raise questions about the policy pressures, challenges and opportunities facing the state in the coming years.
