Texas
Boasting of a population of 27 million, Texas also has an affordable cost of living at 10 percent below the national average. Austin and Dallas might appeal to city dwellers, but San Marcos is the city that many retirees prefer. You will find that folks 65 years and above have a pretty good average income. Laws do not tax incomes heavily either. On the downside, healthcare is not very affordable and there are high poverty rates. It actually has the sixth-highest rate for senior poverty at 10.8 percent.

Louisiana
In the southern state of Louisiana, the cost of living is 10 percent below the average. Baton Rouge is a great city for retirees, but New Orleans is a fascinating place as well. There are 4.6 million people living in the state known for its cuisine, music, and swamps. You can find lots of adventures in this area! However, do not forget that incomes are also on the low side. The average income for senior citizens is $50,744. Healthcare is not the cheapest either as it is 2.1 percent more than the average in the country.
