Vermont

The Green Mountain State is worth considering if you want to stay healthy well into your twilight years. It has one of the smallest populations with only 626,000 people. Hartford is a good place to reside in. The cost of living is still 12 percent higher than the national average, which is not that bad. While it has unparalleled natural beauty and great senior healthcare, you should keep in mind that Kiplinger has called it one of the “Least Tax-Friendly” states.

Delaware is definitely worth looking into. The 2018 U.S. Census Bureau reported a population of 967,000. Rehoboth Beach, in particular, sounds like a nice place to live in. Delaware does not tax Social Security benefits, which makes it very tax-friendly. On top of that, the state exempts certain amounts of pension income and investments for senior citizens. All these things might offset the fact that the cost of living is 11 percent higher than the national average. It would be great if you have a lot of savings already since senior citizens have incomes that are lower than average.
