Calculate your ideal Massachusetts community using our Dreamtown Finder.
If you were to move to any Massachusetts community, where should you go?
We analyzed and ranked each town’s crime rate—including violent and property crime,—the number of public transit options, the number of historical sites per resident, the percentage of acres that are “open space,” and the number of grocery stores.
Sources include the FBI, MBTA, MassGIS, Infogroup, and US Census.
