Weston is the Least Worst Place to Live in Mass.
This is one list you don't want to top. And Weston did not.

You may already be aware, but now people outside town are, too: Weston is a pretty nice place to live. In fact, according to this list, it’s the best place to live - or, not the worst.
A recent list published by RoadSnacks ranked the worst places to live in Massachusetts, and Weston came at the dead bottom or a list you don’t want your town leading. Weston is ranked at at No. 221. Looked at another way, that means Weston ranks in the top place to live in Massachusetts.
The list assumes people wanted “low crime, solid education, great weather, things to do and a stable economy” in their towns and then looked for statistics that showed the opposite of those things in order to come up with a “worst places” list from among the state’s 224 most populous cities.

So who topped this not-so-illustrious list? That would be New Bedford, which is, according to RoadSnacks’ data, “by far the worst place to live in the state of Massachusetts,” with its high crime rate (fourth highest in the state), high unemployment (10.4 percent) and the sixth lowest salaries in the state. Fall River came in at No. 2 with its fifth-highest crime rate, 11 percent unemployment and median income of just more than $34,000.
