Oklahoma
Oklahoma is another that offers the best quality of life for retirees. There are 3.9 million living here. Nichols Hills is your best bet here. The cost of living is low at 16 percent below the U.S. average, so your retirement funds will go a long way. Social Security is not taxed and up to $10,000 can be excluded from your retirement income. Sadly, it is the third-worst in terms of senior health due to high rates of smoking and physical inactivity. Good nursing homes and geriatric care options are limited too.

West Virginia
West Virginia is the second-best state for retirement in our books! The cost of living there is 17 percent lower than the national average. Aside from that, the Mountain State offers great sceneries, a rich history, and impressive resorts. According to Nichel.com, Lewisburg is the best city in the state for retirement. However, Kiplinger says the state is not the most tax-friendly. Fiscal soundness is not the best in the state either. Senior healthcare could also be improved to make the state better for retirees.
