Of the whole state, ValuePenguin writes, "The cheapest cities in the Bay State tend to have several factors in common. They cluster just outside of Boston within the Metrowest and Merrimack Valley region in Middlesex and Norfolk counties. These locations are generally home to smaller populations (less than 30,000) and have lower population density."
On the other end of the spectrum, "The most expensive cities in Massachusetts tend to be larger and more densely populated cities with higher than average crime rates. For the most part, they’re clustered near the Boston metro area and enveloped between the I-95 / Yankee Division Highway, and the shore," writes ValuePenguin.
