The Lakes Region is in transition to a more year round economy and retirement area. It will alway have summer tourists.......but if you check the U.S. census data you will see that the population of Belknap county has skyrocketed it the last six or seven years.
This is no longer your father's Lakes Region......with the baby-boomers retiring over the next 15 to 20 years expect the area to be flooded by retired folks. Which BTW I think is a good thing for the region.
