What areas are most demographically similar to the Greater Boston Area?

In terms of population, and in particular the suburbs of Boston. I know Boston is very diverse, but is it similar to Areas of California? Areas of Colorado? Are suburbs in the state of Washington similar to Massachusetts? More so than say areas of Mississippi or Arizona? Which regions are most similar to The Metro Boston area?

1. Metro Denver Co.
2. I've talked at great lengths about Boston with a friend online. From what I can tell it is just an old, diverse city full of rich people, crazy people, and homeless people. But it is also rich in the arts and American history. It's not really setting an example of "progression". It is saturated with traditional ideas and politics. Thus, I'd say the greater Charleston, SC area is very similar.
3. I assume you ethnically diverse? Most major metropolitan areas where there are also lots job opportunities will be ethnically diverse. By nature, I think most ethnic groups tend to flock together. So you will find that there are neighborhoods that will be predominately one ethic group every where. I grew up in a town in northern Colorado, there was a large "Mexican" population and they all tended to live in two basic areas of the town. In Seattle there is a HUGE Asian population, there is also a "China town" area in Seattle. San Francisco has their famous China town, but each ethnic group seems to have their neighborhood.
