Zip code 03244 in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, exhibits a low diversity demographic profile with a white majority. As of 2022, the white population constitutes 91% of the total, with a median income of $83,049. The community has maintained this racial composition over the past decade, with subtle shifts towards increased diversity.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), Hillsborough has remained in the Low Diversity category with a strong White Majority. The white population percentage has decreased from 96% in 2013 to 91% in 2022. There has been an increase in the Hispanic population, from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races has doubled from 2% to 4% over the decade. These changes suggest the beginning of a potential Transitional Community trend at a slow pace.
The median income in Hillsborough has shown significant growth over the analyzed period. In 2013, the median income was $59,860. By 2022, it had increased to $83,049, representing a growth of about 39% over nine years.

The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between about 7,950 and 8,250 residents throughout the period.
The racial composition of Hillsborough is less diverse than the national average. The U.S. as a whole has been trending towards increased diversity, with the white population dropping below 60% in recent years. The income growth in Hillsborough outpaces national averages. The U.S. median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2022 (adjusted for inflation), whereas Hillsborough saw nearly 40% growth. The stability of the population suggests that the community is not experiencing rapid demographic change due to in-migration, which is often a driver of increased diversity in many areas.
Hillsborough remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community, with subtle signs of increasing diversity. This, coupled with strong income growth, suggests a community that is gradually evolving while maintaining economic stability. The slow pace of demographic change may indicate a more organic shift rather than rapid external influences, potentially allowing for smoother community adaptation to these changes.
