If you’ve done any research on best states to retire you’ll likely come across a confusing assortment of lists all over the internet.\u00a0 One such list has Pennsylvania as the second most desirable state to retire to but it only makes 7th overall on our list.\u00a0 \u00a0While most lists agree that retiring to Florida is ideal,\u00a0 there are some surprising alternatives, like Kentucky.\u00a0 \u00a0Retiring to Kentucky probably isn’t a popular topic of conversation but it represents a state that is a perfect example of what we wanted to discover, a state that we hadn’t thought about but makes a great place to retire to.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Best States To Retire To Methodology To The List<\/h2>

Like other “best places to retire” lists we too looked at many different factors.\u00a0 However, our approach was to be very pragmatic and objective and focus on our retirement money, our health care and overall cost of living.\u00a0 Unfortunately, without taking into account things like climate, you end up with a list of states that no one actually wants to live in, so we included that as a factor as well.\u00a0 In addition for good measure, our 10th criteria was to factor in bankrate’s very own list as well, because their list does factor in things like diversity and culture which were things that we didn’t measure.\u00a0 You can read more about our best states to retire criteria below.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>

Top 5 Best States To Retire<\/h2>

\"Florida<\/p>

#1 Florida<\/h3>

Florida is going to end up as the best place to live on a lot of lists.\u00a0 With no income tax, social security exemptions, quite possibly the best weather (except hurricanes and humidity), above average health care and some of the best affordability in the country, it’s no wonder.\u00a0 Cost of living has gone up over the years but if you don’t mind living inland then there’s still plenty of opportunities to retire.\u00a0 The accolades for Florida are great and it’s the number\u00a0 has the highest population of retirees, it’s no wonder that retirees want to retire to Florida<\/a>.<\/p>

#2 Arizona<\/h3>

When we set out to do the research we wanted to stay as objective as possible.\u00a0 That’s why the next 4 states are typically much lower on other list.\u00a0 \u00a0However, Arizona has been a popular destination for many families and retirees included.\u00a0 Afterall, there are multiple del Webb communities in Arizona<\/a>.<\/p>

Arizona makes our list at number 2, not because it’s the best in any one category like Florida, but instead is above average in almost every aspect we looked at.\u00a0 \u00a0There’s an income tax but there’s exemptions for Social Security.\u00a0 The weather isn’t perfect with 100+ degree days, but the average temperature is some of the best in the country and it’s dryer air.\u00a0 It’s got a high population of retirees, low crime and low sales taxes.<\/p>

#3 Mississippi<\/h3>

A dark horse on these sort of lists and we couldn’t figure out why.\u00a0 What’s not to like about Mississippi?\u00a0 It’s got all the makings of a retiree oasis.\u00a0 Decent tax structures, great weather (albeit a bit humid), outstanding affordability and a decent community of retirees already here.\u00a0 The only downside to Mississippi is it’s below average health care.\u00a0 \u00a0Even with that being the most heavily weighted part of our criteria, Mississippi ranks 3rd and deserves your consideration if you’re thinking of the best state to retire.<\/p>

#4 Alabama<\/h3>

Every list we looked at treated Alabama how we just treated Mississippi.\u00a0 \u00a0A surprising yet boring choice for retirement.\u00a0 I’m sure we’d all love to retire to Peurto Rico or some place more exotic but Alabama has everything you’d want in a state to retire to and quite possibly has the most affordability of any state in the US.\u00a0 One thing to watch out for when you’re considering Alabama is the sales tax.\u00a0 Some of the cities push up the sales tax to be one of the worst in the country, and that can add up even if the cost of goods is significantly lower.<\/p>

#5 Texas<\/h3>

With a state as big as a country, it’s really hard to measure Texas.\u00a0 Texas is super tax friendly, and above average in almost every criteria that we considered except 1, population of retirees.\u00a0 One downside is our metric is based on retiree per 100,000.\u00a0 \u00a0This can favor more densely populated cities and states.\u00a0 Texas is such a good state to retire to that if we didn’t use the population of retirees as a measurement, it’d have been 2nd only to Florida.<\/p>

Texas is wide open, and features MANY retiree only housing options in the suburbs of many of it’s busier cities<\/a>.\u00a0 Dallas, San Antonio<\/a>, and Austin<\/a> in particular all have multiple communities just for retirees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Below is our criteria and how each state ranked in that given criteria.\u00a0 Some of the criteria is just the numbers, for example if a state had 0 income tax, then it immediately ranks #1 for that category.\u00a0 However, for things like crime, cost of living and health care we used a blended average of the actual metrics and weighted them toward what retirees preferences are based on our research.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Top 5 Worst States To Retire To<\/h2>

\"-\"<\/p>

You might think that we’re biased against cold weather climates, but the combination of cold weather, low population of retirees and low affordability (or high crime) pushes a state to the bottom of a list for the best states to retire in.<\/p>

Colorado<\/h3>

Every image we’ve seen of Colorado makes it seem like a dream destination for retirees that love the outdoors.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 high taxes, low affordability in housing and general goods and while it’s beautiful when you can use the outdoors, you better bundle up, because it’s colder here more than normal.\u00a0 \u00a0The abysmally low population of retirees means that if you do retire here, you won’t see many of them at their exceptional health care.<\/p>

Maine<\/h3>

How does a state that has the most retirees per 100,o00 people end up at the bottom of a best state list?\u00a0 Simple, Maine has high real estate prices, high taxes, extremely high cost of living and some of the worst weather in our country.\u00a0 \u00a0Bankrate agrees with us on this one, Maine might be beautiful but it’s one of the worst places to retire to.<\/p>

North Dakota<\/h3>

You’d be hard pressed to find a more inhospitable place to retirees than North Dakota (but we found 2).\u00a0 \u00a0It’s got the 2nd worst weather, and it is average or below average in every other category.<\/p>

Minnesota<\/h3>

The 1991 World Series taught us that Minnesota is just a miserable place.\u00a0 It’s got ridiculously high taxes, the 3rd worst weather in the nation and incredible average in every other category.\u00a0 \u00a0The fact is that if you like a frozen tundra, our “worst state to retire to” is actually better in all but one way.<\/p>

Alaska<\/p>

The absolute worst state to retire shouldn’t come as any surprise.\u00a0 Alaska is hard to live in period let alone retire in.\u00a0 It’s got the 2nd lowest population of retirees per 100K and the worst weather (by cold temps) in the nation.\u00a0 Add on the one of the highest costs of living, even with no state income tax and you can see why bankrate agrees with us, that Alaska is the worst state to retire to.<\/p>

Our Best States To Retire Criteria<\/h2>

\"-\"<\/p>

Income Tax<\/h3>

Income tax is a big deal in any season of life, but especially when you’re on a fixed income.\u00a0 \u00a0While there are a number of states that don’t charge any income tax, the vast majority of states offer a bit of reprieve from income tax on social security and retirement income.\u00a0 \u00a0To account for this we moved social security exemptions to another category and focused purely on retirement income.\u00a0 \u00a0With more and more retirees using this opportunity as a 2nd career, it’s important to weigh how much of your income, from your pension or from your active work that you’re going to have to give up.\u00a0 \u00a0Places like Florida and Texas rank well here, but so does a place like Alaska.\u00a0 \u00a0Which is one reason why we needed multiple dimensions of this list.<\/p>

Social Security Tax Exemptions<\/h3>

Imagine working, paying taxes which include social security only to be taxed again on your social security income.\u00a0 \u00a0We did the math.\u00a0 For at least 38 states you won’t be in danger of being taxed unless you’re making some significant retirement income.\u00a0 \u00a0However, it’s the principle of the thing.\u00a0 \u00a0We created a separate category for Social Security and overall tax friendliness of retirement specific income.<\/p>

Weather Grade<\/h3>

What good are metrics on finances if you don’t actually want to live there?\u00a0 \u00a0The weather grade is a simple look at the average temperature in a given state.\u00a0 We didn’t give this a ton of weight because it can be problematic.\u00a0 \u00a0Southeastern states fair well on this test but humidity isn’t accounted for.\u00a0 A state like California actually suffers because it’s so long.\u00a0 \u00a0However, at this time it’s a good enough estimate and we do think it factors into a decision.<\/p>

In fact, even with a lower weighting that other factors we were surprised that the colder the state was the less ideal it was for retirees.<\/p>

Health Care<\/h3>

When we went to define the best states to retire in, we wanted to be as objective as possible.\u00a0 So many of lists have a clear bias and now that we’ve done the research we understand!\u00a0 Not everyone will enjoy the humid summers of Mississippi just because it’s one of the best places to retire due to it’s low cost of living, low real estate prices, and favorable tax laws, for example.\u00a0 Adding health care which itself is a blended average of availability of health services (are there hospitals nearby for example) as well as accounting for the age of these hospitals.\u00a0 \u00a0This list of best states for your retirement is really just meant to help you narrow it down if you have the option to choose where to retire.<\/p>

State Sales Tax<\/h3>

In addition to cost of living, we added the criteria of state sales tax.\u00a0 \u00a0We also included a blended average of the municipalities (cities and counties) additional taxes.\u00a0 \u00a0While retirees might consume less overall, the states with these taxes make everything more expensive and it should be factored in<\/p>

Real Estate Prices<\/h3>

Whether you plan to rent, buy a home in a del webb community or use an assisted living facility the cost of real estate is going to be baked right into the budget.\u00a0 \u00a0We weighed this one slightly more than some others because of the huge impact of housing on retirees.\u00a0 Unless you have a paid off house, you’re likely going to notice that housing is the most expensive line item in your budget.<\/p>

Population Of Retirees<\/h3>

One of the downfalls of these best places to retire lists are they often look only at financial factors but then pick places that actually don’t cater very much to retirees.\u00a0 Then again how can you know a place is good for retirees?\u00a0 \u00a0Well, one factor is that they already live there.\u00a0 \u00a0Population of retirees in a given state tell us a lot about that state, because these retirees moved there and didn’t read our guide!<\/p>

Crime Rates<\/h3>

No “best of places” is complete without a crime rate report.\u00a0 That’s the reason it’s included, however, it got the lowest weighting of the bunch.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because states like New York and Illinois have below average crime ratings because of their inner city problems, which aren’t typically full of retirement options.\u00a0 \u00a0We took your standard crime rate report, blended it to give more weight to violent crime and then knocked the weight down for our guide.<\/p>

Cost Of Living<\/h3>

The cost of living index and it’s subsequent categories is very helpful but often it’s a bit of a crutch when it comes to these list.\u00a0 \u00a0We used a weighted and blended average of the CoL categories.\u00a0 \u00a0For example, we gave more weight to health, groceries and real estate than we did something like utitlities.\u00a0 The average retiree uses less utilities and overall consumes less, so we weighted these things as less important to retirees.<\/p>
