I can do it, and I will base it mostly on how nice (or not) the neighborhoods look in these towns.

Newton
Weston
Stoughton
Natick
Canton
Randolph
Lowell
Lawrence
Quincy
Brockton
Everett
Dorchester

*Those last 3 were the toughest, they're pretty much a 3-way tie for the worst

I'll try:

Weston (no bad areas to be found there)
Newton
Natick (South Natick is very nice)
Canton (Some wealthy neighborhoods & school system might actually be better than
Natick)
Stoughton
Quincy
Lowell
Brockton (The West Side has some lovely homes, but the violence in Brockton is unreal) & Randolph are about equal
Everett (I know next to nothing about Everett, just a guess)
Dorchester
Lawrence

Just keep in mind that the economics and social scenes of these towns can be like night and day. Weston and Brockton... That's like Dom Perignon next to Miller Light.

Newton and Weston at the top. Good schools, nice communities.

Everything except Brockton and Dorchester in the middle. Brockton has an unbeliveable amount of problems. I'm sure nice pockets in town exist but you're still in Brockton. Dorchester also has some nice pockets but now you have to deal w/ the Boston Public Schools.

Every other town on that list is sort of 'meh' in my opinon.

I'd switch Brockton and Dorchester. Everything else is pretty much right.
