Demographics
A Portrait of Tewksbury
Tewksbury is a settled, middle-class suburb in the Merrimack Valley, older and better off than the state as a whole, with one in five residents age 65 or over and a median household income well above the Massachusetts median. It grew from farmland into a commuter town as Route 38 and the interstates arrived, and it still holds open space along the Shawsheen River. Figures below are from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Follow the source links for the latest.
