"If you've ever daydreamed about the best places to retire in the US, you're in good company. If you're like most people, career demands dictate where you plant your roots for most of your life-then, once retirement rolls around and you no longer have to worry about a daily commute or company requirements, the possibilities are suddenly endless. Now it's time to choose your next address, but where to start?"
"To help folks strike the perfect balance for their personal needs, WalletHub has released its annual Best & Worst Places to Retire list-a ranking of 182 cities across the US (including the 150 most populated US cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state) based on affordability, activities, quality of life, and healthcare. Each of the four metrics takes several factors into consideration."
Career demands often determine where people live until retirement, when commuting and employer constraints disappear and relocation choices expand. Retiree preferences include climate, community size, proximity to family, and lifestyle amenities. Practical considerations that shape retirement decisions include healthcare access, cost of living, and taxes. WalletHub released an annual ranking of 182 U.S. cities to evaluate retirement suitability across four metrics: affordability, activities, quality of life, and healthcare. Affordability measures adjusted living costs and taxpayer-friendliness; activities measures cultural and recreational amenities per capita; quality of life evaluates weather and elder-abuse protections; healthcare examines hospital quality and life expectancy. Florida cities frequently appear near the top because of favorable tax policies, abundant recreational options, and consistent warm weather.
