Signature stat or feature

Tech-heavy economy, mountains and water in every direction, and transit that’s quietly leveling up.

My take

If you took Boston’s tech sector, dropped it in a national park, and swapped Dunkin’ for single-origin pour-overs. Cloudy, yes, but outdoors and career scores are off the charts.
