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!
FOX News is the worst!
Your watching to much fake news. Try Newsmax and Fox News. When your told the truth your options change. You deserve the truth.
You have it backwards!!! The Republicans don’t care about anyone except themselves and getting richer!!!
Move to Michigan. Seniors have a guarantee that the state won’t raise property taxes over a certain percentage regardless of the official rate.
Same thing here in Jersey!
Memphis is a blue city – run by democrats. The state is a red state – but MEM is blue. I lived there for 33 years due to a job. Couldn’t wait to move out……
Any party who is OK with killing babies and old people should tell you who cares about you. If you vote for DEMONCRATS, you are nuts
I have lived in Washington State for decades and would call it the worst pace to retire to because of the ever growing taxes. We bought a modest 1300 sq ft home that was a total fixer upper and over the last 15 years made improvements to retire to and moved from the crime ridden west coast to eastern Washington five years ago when we retired and last year year the state took our 30 year old modest forever home valued at $358,000 and re assessed it at $617,000 at the end of last year. Thats a $259,000 jump in one year and the taxes that were semi affordable will almost double.
Bing on a fixed income will make it hard to do anything but pay taxes. I honestly can’t think of anything that isn’t taxed and there are more taxes on the way. we are looking to move to Idaho at this point. We were basically taxed out of our home on the west side we lived in for 30years and they are doing the same thing to us again. Plus the state is billions or dollars in debt even after raising taxes and adding taxes. Think real hard before moving to Washington State unless you have a lot of money to burn.
You’re so full of libtard crap!!!!!!
What are the top areas to retire???
