Seventh Place???

N.H. 'most livable' for second consecutive year

CONCORD, N.H. - Morgan Quitno Press has named New Hampshire the "Most Livable State" for the second consecutive year.


As if I needed additional motivation.

Like last year, the Granite State passed Minnesota to take the top spot.

Vermont held at third, while Massachusetts ranked seventh, Connecticut 14th, Maine 15th and Rhode Island 23rd.

The 2005 award is based on 44 factors. They include median household income, the crime rate and job growth.


I guess having some of the best hospitals in the world nearby cancels out the increased likelihood of being the victim of violent crime.
