Best Cities To Retire In The United States!
Tucson AZ and Nearby Communities
What makes a city a great place to retire too?
Well, one top consideration is State, not the city, related. What is it? TAXES!
And four are related to the city you choose to live in. These include affordability, activities, quality of life, and health care.
With these in mind, Arizona ranks high. Arizona has seen an 18% drop in average monthly healthcare costs between 2018 and 2019.
Should that trend continue, Arizona will move even higher up on the list of top States to retire too.
But Arizona is a top pick for retirees since Sun City opened in 1960. In fact, senior population in Arizona grew 49.6% between 2007 and 2017. Here’s why.
- Average monthly costs for healthcare is $333
- State income tax rate: 2.59% to 4.54%
