Conway's median age of 54 and 36% senior (65+) population share both run genuinely, substantially above New Hampshire's own already-old statewide figures (43.2 years, 19.5%-20.8%) -- among the clearest retirement-relevant demographic signals in this project's New Hampshire dataset (base record).
Favorable property tax for New Hampshire, plus no state income tax
Conway's 1.26% effective property tax rate runs below New Hampshire's own 1.82%-1.93% statewide picture, and New Hampshire levies no state tax on Social Security, pension, or other retirement income (base record).
A genuinely full-service local hospital for a Tier B market
MaineHealth Memorial Hospital offers a 24-hour emergency department, surgery center, family birthing center, sleep center, and the Miranda Center for Diabetes -- meaningful healthcare-access depth for retirees weighing a smaller-market move (base record).
Weigh the real, disclosed crime-data contradiction directly
Retirees should weigh this record's disclosed, unresolved crime-data contradiction directly (one source favorable, one placing Conway near the bottom of NH's safety rankings) rather than assuming either framing alone.
