Florida
There is a good reason the state of Florida has one of the highest percentages of seniors in the country. The city has warm weather—the warmest in the country—that agrees well with old age and there are many nice retirement communities and homes to keep you from feeling lonely when you move.
It ranks pretty well on healthcare compared to other states, according to MoneyRates [1]. It clinches the number one spot for the quality of lifestyle it offers retirees. There are many outdoor attractions, such as the Myakka State Park; art and entertainment centers like The Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, the Arcade Theater, and the Coral Castle Museum.
