Being from and currently in a Nh, I feel concord south is southern. But then I can see how someone from coos could see the line at tilton or further north . Cheshire, Hillsboro and Rockingham counties for sure

Mass doesn’t require drivers from states without inspection laws to have car inspection verifications. That would be an illegal violation of state sovereignty. The driving to Mass for jobs part is true, given that almost a quarter of the state’s population works down there.

Maybe, but I'm looking for a new place to live and Concord North is the line tilton Franklin is just be on the pale not part of Southern New Hampshire for me. Of course this is purely pedantic and you could clearly make your case that everything to the big lake is largely Southern tier and so heavily influenced

As others have said, Concord is a common demarcation. But in conversation, Southern NH often refers to the part of NH that has a lot of Boston commuters, or at least folks that commute to Massachusetts. By that standard, I would say start at Hollis, draw a line up to concord, then over to the Maine border. That area is kind of what i would call Southern NH. I definitely don't think of Hinsdale or Keene in that description.
