No offense but Dracut is kinda a shit town. Not tryna be racist but a lot of white trash lives there. It does have its nice streets and nice neighborhoods but the white trashy parts overshadow it.

I grew up in Chelmsford and here are my thoughts in the area. Tyngsboro is a nicer town if ur in that area.

Lowell- ranges from poverty to some middle/upper middle class areas with everything in between, super diverse as well but the more affluent areas skew whiter, with the more poverty stricken areas skew more latino, whereas asian areas skew in between.

Dracut-lower middle class to middle/ upper middle class, 85 percent white, with the remaining 15 percent being an even split of asians/latinos/blacks

Tyngsboro-somewhere in between Dracut and Chelmsford income and race wise

Billerica-used to be lower middle class to middle class, but plenty of teardowns recently ,and home prices have skyrocketed, leading to it being pretty middle class with upper middle class now coming in, the lower middle class has been wiped out there tbh. Pretty overwhelmingly white though.

Chelmsford-small amounts of lower middle class with mostly being middle class and its fair share of upper middle class area and even 1 or 2 streets of 1.5 mil + houses. Mostly white as well with the minorities mostly being Indian or Latino.

Westford-solidly upper middle class town with some upper class, all families mostly white with a large asian minority, maybe 1 or 2 black or latino families in town though

Carlisle- upper class white town

The way I look at is like this, there are some trump supporters in Chelmsford but they tend to be the richer folk that don't want to pay taxes. The trump supporters in Dracut are full on MAGA forever, immigrants take our jobs type folk. Only town in Middlesex County where majority voted for Trump.

I worked for CVS there 2 years ago, and I can confirm the opioid epidemic hit the town hard, we were doing suboxone and oxycodone scripts left and right. The rudest fuckers lived there too. Granted Lowell is right there and ehhh im not gonna shit on Lowell cuz its actually not as shitty as people make it out to be.

This critique might be too harsh but after spending time there, I would never set foot there .

If you weren't even trying, you may just have a natural aptitude.
