Reading a New Hampshire lot
96 establishments employ 3,283 people in New Hampshire, about 34 each against 82 for the fifty states. It is one of the smaller warehousing states, so a lot here is rarely one of many on the same road. Small sites tend to mean a few stacks at a time.
New Hampshire has 0.8 food manufacturing jobs for every warehousing job, against 0.9 across the fifty states. Warehouses outweigh the food plants around them, which favours mixed docks and strays from many suppliers. Among the other industries counted here, pharmaceutical manufacturing (2,222 jobs) is 2.4 times the size of auto parts (910).
Rockingham County holds 56.0% of New Hampshire's warehousing jobs, and the top 3 listed hold 80.7%. One county carries more than half the state's warehousing, so a lot outside it is a longer haul. None of the metros in the dossier sits inside New Hampshire, so a lot is read by its ZIP.
The October 2025 USDA table used here gives no separate figure for New Hampshire, so cold-chain lots are read on their photos and what they carried.
