While Florida may be a retirement 'mecca', other states including Colorado, Virginia, Iowa, and South Dakota were recently ranked as some of the best retiree destinations.
Personal finance website WalletHub ranked U.S. states based on 41 criteria, including from water and air quality to access to health care, and life expectancy. Colorado ranked as the best state for retirees behind Florida, and one of the healthiest, with above-average affordability, vibrant outdoor culture and plenty of sunlight, and great access to health care, per CBS News.
No. 47 Mississippi is certainly affordable. Indeed, it scored at the top of WalletHub's ranking of lowest adjusted cost of living. But the state scored dead last when it comes to access to quality health care, life expectancy and the number of museums and theaters per capita. No. 46 Arkansas also ranks well for affordability — second overall — but ... has a relatively high property crime rate.
