It’s been more than a year since all of New Hampshire was completely drought-free, and despite some spring and summer rain, drought has returned to a central swath of the state as fall approaches.

While the U.S. has millions of homes that are used only seasonally or occasionally, vacation housing is far more concentrated in some communities than others. In several prominent resort markets, vacation homes account for more than half of the entire housing stock. At the same time, housing affordability remains a challenge for renters in many communities, with more than half of renters in some metros spending an excessive share of their income on housing. Researchers at SellMyTimeshareNow analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data to identify the states and communities where vacation homes make up the largest share of the housing supply. The findings reveal a stark contrast between the country’s largest vacation-home markets by volume and the smaller destinations where seasonal properties make up an outsized share of local housing.

International tourism is a major economic driver for the United States, but the country's recovery has been uneven. While travel exports have returned to roughly their pre-pandemic dollar value, inflation-adjusted spending and overseas arrivals remain below 2019 levels. Researchers at Luxury Link analyzed the latest U.S. Department of Commerce data to identify which cities and states attract the most international tourists—and where overseas travel is growing or declining.

A week before Veto Day, leaders in both parties are hoping to overturn Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s veto of the Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan. And some like the odds. “I think there’s a pretty good chance,” said Deputy House Speaker Steven Smith, a Charlestown Republican, in an interview Wednesday. “It’s the type of thing that’s […]

New England beachgoers know them well: With bulging, Kelly green eyes, and mouthparts that slice into their targets’ skin like scissors, greenhead horseflies can’t be ignored. But with enough data, they can, perhaps, be avoided — at least, that’s what […]
Nearly two years into her tenure, Gov. Kelly Ayotte has become comfortable with a veto pen. The Republican governor vetoed nine bills Thursday, many of them lightning-rod political issues and priorities of lawmakers in her party. Months before the November general election, she took a red pen to conservative proposals to increase book removals in […]
With Fourth of July travel expected to surge, researchers at Luxury Link analyzed domestic airline traffic data to examine where Americans are flying for the holiday and how increased demand affects flight reliability. The analysis found that scheduled flights rise 16.3% during the week ending on July 4th, while cancellations jump 121.5% and flights delayed more than three hours increase 74.6%. Alaska (+51.7%), Maine (+50.9%), and Montana (+49.9%) experience the nation's largest holiday-related increases in arriving flights.
