Worst Towns Scoring
All the "best/worst" stories on the internet are dependent on criteria used. For example, most "best schools" rankings use both "total per-pupil spending" and "diversity" as positive elements, when it's well-known that spending has no correlation with outcomes and as far as "diversity", well, let's say your mileage may vary.
This ranking of NH towns uses only a few elements, one of which is population density, and "low" is a negative.
Most people who live in Alton, or elsewhere up here, probably look at low population density as a positive.
