Umm, yes? MA has many more young people than VT/NH, which obviously impacts these numbers because they are relative.

It’s all the colleges and post-college job opportunities in medicine, finance and technology. While COL is high, compensation is also usually high, because getting people to stay is notoriously difficult because of housing costs and terrible winters.

If getting people to stay was difficult there wouldn’t be a housing shortage in Boston.

Personally I think the housing shortage is more of an affordable housing shortage. Boston doesn’t seem to like to build high density housing so we’re not keeping up with natural growth let alone all the people who move here to work. NIMBY’s seem to ruin everything.
