Where are the Best Places to Live in Massachusetts for Republicans? 

While Massachusetts is a wonderful state that is attractive to all walks of life, Movoto released the best places to live in Massachusetts for Democrats and Republicans. Today, we take a closer look at the Republican list.

1. Forestdale

Movoto reports, in Forestdale (located on Cape Cod), 51% of residents are Republicans. It's a slight majority, but that also makes it one of the most conservative urban areas in the state. Sixty-four percent of Forestdale residents are pro-choice, 49% are pro-gun control, and only 32% believe that climate change needs to be addressed as an immediate concern.

2. Whitinsfield

Whitinsfield, a small town just southeast of Worcester, Massachusetts, is home to a significant proportion of Republicans and those who share a more conservative ideology, per Movoto's research. Here, 45% of residents are Republicans. Just 61% are pro-choice and 52% are pro-gun control, much lower than most other parts of the state. Thirty-eight percent of Whitinsfield residents profess to be religious and 57% support lowering taxes.

3. Hanson

Forty-seven percent of residents are Republicans, 63% are pro-choice, and 38% say they're religious. Movoto reports,  only about half the residents are pro-gun control. These factors make Hanson one of the most conservative towns in the liberal state of Massachusetts.
