Jersey City, New Jersey

Price can be a significant limiting factor if you’ve been thinking about Jersey City as a place for living out your retirement. In fact, the cost of living in the state tends to be ABOVE your national average.

This is one of those “worst cities” that doesn’t truly promote physical activities either.

Also, your health care is very much defined by how much you earn each month, so low-income retirees might not be able to get access to the best care they should be getting.

Because of these factors, it’s no wonder that the entire state continually ranks very low when it comes to places for seniors to settle down.

…What do you think? Is this the worst town to live in?
