I have lived in NH most of my life, and honestly it's not affordable anymore. It hasn't been for a while. Housing is out of control, particularly now, (it has greatly increased since this video) pretty much anywhere in the state within driving distance to a decent paying job. The state has had plenty of legislation proposed to try to help ease the issue of housing affordability, but all of them end up dying in the senate or being tabled and dying without being voted on. There is very little new housing being built, and very little available rentable housing. In 2020 the vacancy rate was ONLY 1.8%! The housing stock is so low, and so crap, and prices are through the roof. You will pay $1,500 for a small basic apartment that hasn't been updated since the 90's.

It’s federal law that you can only have six children per adult that’s not a state mandate that’s a federal mandate. And yes Massachusetts is higher but they offer a lot more grants and subsidize the New Hampshire does. I know this because I lived in New Hampshire for 30 years. New Hampshire offers no help for childcare. If your child has a learning disability you’re not gonna get any help in the schools. If your child is dyslexic which my granddaughter is. If your child has ADD or ADHD no help you’re going to have to hire a private tutor her which will cost you about $150 a week for the tutor. I know because I had to do that with my granddaughter. So that’s another expense.If you’re over 65 which I am 61 there’s no access to anything for senior citizen care at all. Unless you are wealthy very wealthy.

The average rent in New Hampshire I’m talking in Nashua for a two bedroom apartment it’s $1700 a month. And Manchester New Hampshire the average went is $1500 a month. You need to remember what I minimum wage is in New Hampshire which is 750 an hour. The average pay it’s $12 an hour. If you’re lucky you’re getting paid $15 an hour. Buy for your rent is 1500 a month do the math. In Portsmith the average rent is 1650 a month for a two bedroom apartment. If you go up to Concord New Hampshire the average rent is 1400 a month. But you also have to remember there’s a lot of prejudice people out there. So if you or anybody of color you need to stay away from that area

Gas on average is 3.35 to 3.69 a gallon . We're 3rd in the country for opioid addiction , Manchester is crowded with homeless and heroin addicts on most public walkways . Currently in Londonderry nh we're paying 7,100 every 6 months for a place that is in less than good condition but valued at just over 380k . Studio apartments are starting at 1,500 and you'll be on a 12 - 24 month waiting list if you put $500 - $700 down at the time of application in most areas and will take a lawyer or at the least some aggression to get your money back if they turn you down , homes are 400k on average. For any kind of family outings flume gorge , winnepesauki , my Washington or just a restaurant your going to be in line at opening and should show up super early to beat the lines. Schools are ok but produce average earners at best , plus most of the smaller towns are bussed to the closest city because they do not have a school . The only night life is in Manchester where every major club has 3-4 murders a year no exaggeration and that doesn't include the hundreds of incidents where no one is killed . We currently have over 1,000 refugees living in state provided hotel rooms in Manchester as the state searches for housing for them . And it's below freezing for 9-10 months out of the year , with Massachusetts being about 10 - 15 degrees warmer on average . Most average income locals dream of leaving and we have a saying that's goes , " you can be poor anywhere , why be poor and cold " as on a fantastic year we'll see the sun around 100 days . Most years it's around 60 - 70 days. 2021 you can almost count on 2 hands , it's been dark. 2021 Rained literally every day from June 5th to mid August. And a fishing or hunting license is between $50 - $65 Which you may use 10-15 times if the weather is decent . Most of the people saying NH is great are above average earners or real estate agents who work from home and pay to have their property plowed most of the year. They usually live in the sticks and can afford $600 + for a yearly pass to ski resorts. Our cost of living is %25 above national average being modest , and the property tax is 4th highest in the country. Best advice stay where your at or go elsewhere . Most real locals are leaving , renting is cheaper in northern mass .

Right now in 2023 the home prices have gone through the roof!!! The home affordability is very scarce! We've been living in an apartment here in Salem, NH for almost 2 years hoping to find an affordable home. Even the apartment was very hard to find in 2020. We pay $1,900/month, excluding heat/water. Hopefully things will cool off in the real estate market, here in NH, in the near future.

$1,900 a month may not calculate over to affordable housing when it comes to buying housing in New Hampshire. Not unless you go way upstate, near Berlin. My husband and I bought a trailer in a very very nice trailer park West of Concord in 2023. Electricity is costing us $175 a month Year-Round. I work from home, and we have computers, wash washing machine, dishwasher and large refrigerator freezer. Our heat is propane. During the summer, we use very little. But from October through April, we are paying $400 a month for propane. Our mortgage is less than $700 a month in our Park. Rent is $460 a month. Where we are we don't have to pay for water or trash removal. We do have to plow our own driveway in the winter time. If you don't plow it yourself, that's going to cost you $60 a storm. There are other costs involved with home ownership such as taxes, renovations, repair and upkeep that you don't have with apartment living. Unless you are planning to move way upstate, this state is not affordable for any one paying what you are paying in rent. I'm sorry to have to tell you, that is the truth of the matter. God bless you. I hope you find what you are looking for in your future. There are lots of places in the country where homes are way more affordable, you might want to look elsewhere.

I live in NH and it's far from being a affordable state. Property taxes are very high, the city of Concord NH redid Main Street, which took a couple of years. They wanted to be fancy and put down cobblestones etc. There was no parking while this was happening, the city lost money because of that and to redo the broken cobblestones a couple times. All of this raised our taxes very much as we're paying for the cities mistakes. We pay for trash bags! Poor leadership, instead of putting the people needs first, they put there own. Spending over $1000000 to create a new parking garage for the legislators which are not in service all year round. When there are three to four other garages in town that they could park in. I believe that was the stimulus money he was given. It took him two to three years to give his employees a raise and he did not want to, finally they got a raise of 1.2% and another raise of 1.2% on top of that benefits being taken away. Crime in New Hampshire in the last few years has increased dramatically Salem, Nashua, Manchester, Concord and creeping up to other towns /cities. The homeless are constantly setting fires under a major highway. There's at least one or two or more crimes a day one particular one was a husband beating his wife in the middle of the parking lot where they live and all the neighbors came out and watch and did not help her and he shot her. Recently we had a couple that had been shot and could not find out who did it and it ended up being a homeless person as they Camp all around the city. I couldn't go on and on but look at other states. There are more Banks, drugstores, furniture stores, phone stores than anything else. There's NO clothing stores, specialty shops whatsoever, and now they want to put up a casino and hotel in a area that's not a place for that. Traffic would triple and there would be constant accidents and fatalities. It's located in a quiet part of Concord and residential area. Concord is to small for a casino.

"New Hampshire currently taxes investment income and interest. This is a flat 5% individual rate. For all intents and purposes, however, the Granite State does not have a state income tax in that it takes no percentage of an individual’s salary. Even this tax is set to be phased out soon. Beginning in 2023, the tax will be reduced by a percentage point, before being completely repealed after December 31, 2026. As a result, the state of New Hampshire levied just $78 worth of income tax per capita in the fiscal year 2018, compared to a national average of $1,303. At the top end of the scale, the state of New York collected $3,407 per capita." (hereinnewhampshire.com/does-nh-have-income-tax/)

We live in Bartlett (Mt Washington Valley). We have lower property taxes specifically because about 50% of the homes are second homes for families from away (they pay prop tax but do not send kids to our schools). But that's a double edge sword, many of these second homes are now short-term rentals (STR), along with many "investment properties" that are now listed on AirBNB, VRBO, etc and NOT available as full-time rentals for local workers, this makes the cost of rental housing very expensive in the valley. Restrictions have been proposed for "STRs", and are in debate, I do understand people should have the right to do with their property what they want, but when does STRs become a business??? We live on a dead end road in Bartlett near Attitash Ski Area, there are nine homes on our street, THREE of us are full-timers, out of the remaining 6 homes, 3 are active STRs. Most STR renters are usually very quiet and respectful of living in a neighborhood, but we sometimes have "party" renters that party into the wee hours... and that's where the right of a home owner to do what they want with their property begins to impact our right to enjoy our full-time home!

For the people who are making minimum wage or not much more there are some other choices sometimes than in renting an apartment. Back many years ago when I had a much lower wage, I noticed an advertisement that an older person was renting a room in her house. Of course do you have to have a good recommendation etc. etc. and also interviewed the person who is renting the room if it’s gonna work for you but that could be another choice besides a roommate or a rental apartment which also requires a big deposit.

Our crime rate has doubled and Concord homeless are starting fires, killed a couple on their walk, a woman being beaten up by her husband and shot in the complex parking lot while 25+ people watched and did not do anything, putting a casino and hotel on the heights diagonally across from Walmart in a quiet part of town, increase traffic on 393 and drivers go as fast as possible and no police monitoring because of the way that 393 was construct, cost of living, high property taxes, building a multimillion dollar parking garage with stimulus money for the legislative branch, which can be used for a few months when they're not in session and there's a brand new parking garage, and 3 others closer to the capital building. He treats State workers as if they are beneath him. It took him three years to give them a new contract a few years ago if they've lost benefits and the raises he's giving are 1.2 percent and the state can't get people to apply for jobs and some employees have been bullied, yelled out in front of people, gaslighting, pushing employees they don't like, retirees. You'd be amazed at how people are treated. No understanding and compassion for the disabled.

It looks like you would pay the same for groceries, less on healthcare, but the average home price is $200,000 more in NH than Ohio. Depending on what you are looking for though, there are many 55+ communities here that are affordable.

Lived in Stratham from 1976-1982 and moved to Bow where I lived until 2009 when I retired and moved to Florida. Although Florida is changing it has been much less expensive living here than NH. Property taxes, insurance, utilities, heating/cooling, food, gasoline everything has been far less here. For example, in 2008 just prior to selling out my house property tax was $7600 on a house about the same size as here in Florida where I just paid $2600. The $5000 in savings covers most of my other expenses. My social security of $1650 goes much further in Florida than NH. Fortunately, my kids and grand kids still live in NH so my wife and I enjoy returning at least once a year.

I think it's important to understand why the minimum wage in New Hampshire hasn't gone up in years. To be clear, virtually no one of any age actually works for minimum wage. The reason for this is New Hampshire consistently has one of the lowest unemployment rates in America, and as a result, employers have to pay higher wages to get workers. This has resulted in many or most unskilled workers getting 10, 12, or 15 dollars an hour without any experience at all. To be clear, it's not enough money to live on because housing in New Hampshire is very expensive. However, it's more than enough money for a high school or college age kid who's still living at home. The good news is that skilled workers with training and experience can expect much higher wages... especially in the trades. Although lots of people in New Hampshire have College Degrees, pay and other compensation really depends on what their degree is in, which doesn't necessarily guarantee a higher salary. To be fair, I know Plumbing and Electrical Contractors that make as much or more than people with College Degrees. Again, an experienced tradesman can do very well in New Hampshire. HVAC and Refrigeration Technicians can make 30 to 40 dollars an hour. Welders and Pipe Fitters can make big money too. Heavy Equipment Operators and Truck Drivers can make very good wages as well. It really depends on what you do, how much experience you have, and how good you are.

I have lived here 60 years. It is not affordable for anyone making less than $250,000 a year. There is no housing available - there is a housing shortage. Even apartments are impossible to get because many of them became condos 10 years ago. Most homes here go for over $300,000. That would be for a split level ranch that needed updating, in a town north of Concord on the 16th of an acre. To get a nice 3 bedroom house on a nice 3-acre lot, in a Town that is a short commute to desirable jobs, you're talking a half million and up. New Hampshire is a beautiful state with oceans and mountains, it has a lot of medical resources available, and away from the cities the standard of living is excellent. New Hampshire cities are not as bad as Massachusetts cities, however they were once beautiful pristine and safe in a way somebody half my age wouldn't understand. New Hampshire used to be a Republican state, but the influx of people from New York and Massachusetts have turned the seacoast and cities blue. Away from there, we are rural country folk and very conservative. One thing New Hampshire does not seem to run out of is water. In other states, there are water issues, but New Hampshire only has a serious drought every 30 years or so. In fact, we had so much rain last year, it caused a fungus which is causing the white pine trees to drop all their needles. That is a whole nother problem. Sometimes we have so much water the roads wash out. I almost didn't mention that we get snow and ice potentially for 6 months out of the year, from late November through March, and sometimes into April and early May. We are one of the few states that still has at least two active shopping malls - The Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester and the pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua. There may be others, however, those are the two that I'm aware of that seem to still be very active despite the economy. New Hampshire did not shut down the way the rest of the country did during covid. Many of us remained working. New Hampshire workers have a good work ethic and there is plenty of work to be had here. But there is no place to live. So there you have it. NH is a very expensive state with a housing crisis in one of the most beautiful places in the country. If you are anything but upper middle class and beyond, moving here will be very difficult for you. You may have to live in a neighboring state and drive-in, but even then, housing costs in the Northeast are very expensive. My daughter has a two-bedroom apartment in Manchester. It cost her $2,000 a month - and it's not that nice. Think long and hard before you move here.

I've lived in 40+ places in my lifetime, and like NH for many of the non-financial reasons discussed. It was just a nice place to live. Also, the Concord legislature seems to be one of the best local area representative state legislatures, and I suspect that is the reason for the high Cato rating.

The police keep things buttoned down; there are no drug addicts or prostitutes or graffiti or used needles on the ground like in Manchester or Nashua. There is not a large amount of apartments in Milford that are affordable, and that keeps the Riff Raff out. Otherwise Milford would be overrun like Nashua and Manchester, with illegal immigrants and drug users. And now that I've said that of course, someone will notice the oversight and will start forcing them here as well. 🙄

People who pay for that need to sit down and think about it hard :) The same goes for car insurance, NH residents are lucky they are not obligated to get one. I pay third of my vehicle value for every 5 years, and realistically, the likelyhood of me needing that kind of money is probably 0.1%. I've never had an accident in my 35 years of driving, and that's like a really good new car paid in insurance money. People need to wake up.

I have a very good profession and make $6 per HOUR less than my RI job Healthcare: chraper? Yes. But covers nothing (unless youre on welfare). Im a healthcare worker and would have never moved here had I understood how these plans work. High deductable plans, deny everything AND I cant even get an actual Dr. for my PCP. Quality of healthcare here is very poor because we cannot recruit good talent and keep them (because pay is low and housing is high). Housing has gone insane since Covid. Home prices made sense before, esp. relative to wages, but now you have to be upper class to live here. MA, NY, CA & NJ caused a buying frenzy that prices out any normal resident. Even Drs are having difficulty finding homes. Rent for a 3 bedroom is $2,000- $2,500 The "cheap" towns are depressed and full of drugs.
