• 10 New Hampshire Towns Losing Residents Due To Record-High Property Taxes (myfamilytravels.com) — Wentworth is highlighted as a tiny Grafton County town caught in a harsh property tax cycle, where every departing resident raises the burden on those who remain. The piece explains how shrinking population, rising per-household costs, and an aging community make it harder for locals to afford staying, even as they enjoy the Baker River setting and rural quiet. It argues that towns like Wentworth need to be central in New Hampshire’s tax reform discussions.
