more expensive to live in maine or new hampshire?

The tax burden in Maine would be about 25 percent more than in New Hampshire, for starters. The overall cost of living would vary according to where you choose to live, but Maine is generally slightly lower. It may be as little as a 2 percent difference. Comparing Portsmouth NH to Augusta ME, however, shows NH as 7 percent more expensive. City versus country? Could go either way.

You would need to compare specific zip codes.

NH. was a great state until the transplants from Ma. poured into it. They brought all their stupid values with them, voted for Democrats who increased taxes on everything. Maine, although quite liberal is a lot cheaper to live in.
