(The Center Square) — New Hampshire is mired in an affordability crisis with the cost of living rising faster than most household incomes, according to a new report, which says the financial imbalance is hurting the state’s economy .

The report by the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute, released Tuesday, found that a family of four in the state typically earns about $100,000 a year, which falls about $2,000 short of covering basic needs such as housing and healthcare, while essentials like food and energy are straining household budgets.
