Population
Most would say North Smithfield is a low key, rural town, or just a less populated version of Smithfield, but it’s got more in common with suburbia than your typical rural town. It’s a very green town, there’s a little bit of development everywhere, spreading everything out so there aren’t any densely developed areas. North Smithfield lacks a true center of town type of focal point, the closest thing to it would be the N Main st/Victory highway intersection, and the surrounding area. There’s a decent presence of business and industry spread throughout the town. Similar to Smithfield, North Smithfield has the reputation of being a place where some of RI’s affluent population targets, to leave behind the more suburb/city type of life. There are also a few senior communities spread throughout North Smithfield. Traditionally, North Smithfield residents stay in their homes longer than the average homeowner.
