Virginia

Virginia boasts of a population of 8.3 million people as well as a somewhat high cost of living that rests 7 percent higher than the U.S. average. Many retirees seem to like living in Roanoke. Anyway, the incomes are pretty high here, so the cost of living might be negligible. On top of that, healthcare is pretty affordable and Social Security does not get taxed. Senior citizens can also deduct $12,000 from their income! It is not a great idea if you are a fan of big city living, however.

Are you planning on retiring in Utah? Let us see if it would be a smart move to relocate to the state of 2.9 million people. According to the United Health Foundation, it has the second-best senior health care in the U.S. It is also a good idea to take advantage of the outdoorsy things you can do in the area. Did you know that there are 5 national parks, 43 state parks, and 5 national forests? We recommend living in Salt Lake City for the best quality of life. Sadly, it is not very tax-friendly for retirees. Social Security is taxed, but the cost of living is not too bad at 4 percent above the national average.
