Massachusetts ranked fourth in terms of quality of life in 2018. That’s all thanks to its top-notch educational institutes and opportunities for recreation. On the other hand, Forbes reported that the cost of doing business here was the second-highest among all states in America, falling only behind Hawaii.

Possibly the latter had more influence on the citizens. Of all the migrations related to the state, 58% were outbound. According to an article by the Boston Herald website from April 2022, Massachusetts ranked fifth as the worst in terms of property taxes. That is apart from its record-high tax revenue in 2021.
