Like NH, Mass is very diverse. You can pay $10,000 a year in property tax in Mass, or in a great town pay just $2,000. Since the NH population is located primarily South, you get what you get. NH has crept up quite a bit on cost the last decade or so. If they don;t mug you on other taxes, they'll get you on the few they have. Business friendly to a point, but NH corporate taxes are on the high side.
But NH does offer choices not found in some states. You can live in a larger town and have better facilities and lower taxes. Or live in the country and get smacked
Good article here on NH

I left Mass circa 1981 vowing never to return. Haven't even thought of it yet
