New Hampshire's population in the year to July 2025

On July 1, 2025, New Hampshire had an estimated 1,415,342 residents, 6,824 more than a year earlier (+0.48%). Ranked by that rate of change, it is 24th of the 50 states and DC.

Components of change in the year to July 2025
  • Natural change (births minus deaths)−2,167
  • Net international migration+2,403
  • Net domestic migration (other states)+6,554

Net domestic migration (6,554) and net international migration (2,403) added people, while natural change (2,167) took them away; the gains were the larger side. Deaths outnumbered births, 14,078 to 11,911. The remaining 34 is the Census Bureau's residual, change the three parts do not explain.

Net domestic migration came to 4.6 per 1,000 residents, 9th among the 50 states and DC. Counting international arrivals too, net migration was 6.3 per 1,000.

Against the April 2020 estimates base of 1,377,573, the 2025 estimate is up 2.7%.

Both Census sources point the same way: the state-to-state survey counted more arrivals than departures, outside its margin of error, and the 2025 estimate puts net domestic migration at +6,554.
