Memphis, Tennessee

This one shocked us! But apparently, being the home of blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll is not enough! Memphis is not considered ideal for retirees. In fact, the city ranked 4th as the most dangerous in the United States, with over 20 violent crimes per 1,000 people.

And unfortunately, Memphis is also famous for its severe thunderstorms and is continually hit by tornadoes. Furthermore, health care in Tennessee is severely lacking.

Because of the shortage of federal funding, the number of hospitals in the state has been significantly reduced in recent years. It’s no wonder that this location is considered among the worst cities to move for retirees.

…So while we recommend VISITING Graceland, we don’t think you should live NEAR it!

    While Portland Oregon used to be a nice quiet town. Efforts by the cities political leaders to make the area more cosmopolitin have left the police force woefully understaffed and many people who could have contributed to improvements have departed for places where petty crime and nightly shooting have made the place dangerous for senior citizens as well as others. Also street racing after dark where young people are offten injured make the general area generally unsafe for anyone who does not know their way around such dangerous rotating hot spots.

    Why would you want to live in Portland Oregon ? Crime is outrageous. They don’t prosecute the criminals. Don’ know & don’t want to know.
