A Portrait of Dracut
Dracut is a mostly residential town on the north bank of the Merrimack, wrapped around Lowell and running up to the New Hampshire line. It is a middle-class, homeowning town: incomes run well above the state median, most residents own their homes, and the mill-era pull of Irish and French-Canadian families still shows in its history. Figures below come from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Follow the source links for the latest.
