How long is wait for SSDI hearing in Massachusetts?

I read you other post about how long the waiting time for a hearing on SSDI can be but I was wondering if you have any info about Boston specifically. Is the wait time better or worse in Boston than in other places? Thanks.

Wait for SSDI hearing in Boston

The Social Security Administration does post statistics regarding the average processing time (in days) for each Office of Disability Adjudication and Review.  For the Boston Office, the actual wait for a hearing (how many days from the date of requesting the hearing until a decision is made), is just about average when compared with all other Offices.  the rankings published at the end of February 2011 showed that the wait for a hearing at the Boston office was 335 days.  That sounds pretty bad, but it's good enough to earn the Boston Office the rank of 61 out of 151 Offices.  As discussed in other posts, there really is not any effective way to speed up the hearing process for SSDI appeals.  So I guess we should be thankful we do not live in Dayton, Ohio (526 days).  Hope that helps.
