New Hampshire is beautiful. It's one of the reasons I live here. However, that beauty is indicative of a certain...trait. It's best if we just roll out the data:
1 Manchester 109,877
2 Nashua 87,039
3 East Concord 42,605
4 Concord 40,687
5 Derry Village 34,539
6 Rochester 30,317
7 Salem 29,549
8 Dover 29,061
9 Merrimack 26,726
10 Hudson 24,474
These are the populations of New Hampshire's 10 largest "cities". It don't get no bigger than these in this state. Now let's compare the same list from Massachusetts:
1 Boston 589,141
2 South Boston 571,281
3 Worcester 177,216
4 Springfield 152,227
5 Lowell 103,469
6 Cambridge 101,382
7 Brockton 94,881
8 New Bedford 94,083
9 Fall River 93,000
10 Plymouth 90,615
My gentle readers, New Hampshire is still overwhelmingly a rural state.
