Here’s the #1 Snobbiest Place in Massachusetts for 2024

One thing I love about living in Massachusetts is the friendly folks I have met over the years. While sometimes Bay Staters get mislabeled as being stuck up, that hasn't been my experience for the majority of people I met over the years. However, every state has areas that are considered more snobby than others including Massachusetts. I suppose if I spent more time in those areas, I might feel differently. I suppose we have to face the facts Massachusetts isn't free of snobby areas. Where are these areas?

What is the Snobbiest Place in Massachusetts for 2024? 

Road Snacks released a study of the 10 snobbiest places in Massachusetts for 2024. The study examined things like expensive homes, high incomes, and overly educated populations by city in Massachusetts. Before we reveal the top spot, let's see which places in Massachusetts landed in second and third place.

The City of Newburyport lands in third place when it comes to the "snobby" factor. Last year Somerville took the #3 spot but moved down to #4 in 2024. Here are some stats on Newburyport from the study.

• Population: 18,356
• % Highly Educated: 64.0%
• Median Income: $127,306

We have a repeat winner. The City of Newton landed in the top spot of snobbiest places in Massachusetts for 2023 and it's the same case for 2024. Here are some stats from the study as provided by Road Snacks.

• Population: 88,453

So, Newton is so snobby that the city is the king of snobs for 2023 and 2024. From your experience do you agree with this study or is Newton getting the short end of the stick?  You can see what other places in Massachusetts made the list by going here.
