Perhaps it should be no surprise that New Hampshire, with its legendary live - free - or - die aversion to taxes and its location in private - college - dense New England, has frequently held the dubious distinction of being the state with the highest per -
capita college loan debt in the country.
Rather than looking just at total (or per -
capita) student
loan debt balances by state, Credit Sesame calculated
debt - to - earnings ratios (
debt as a percentage of earnings) for
college graduates.
