7. Toledo, Ohio
- Average 1-bedroom rent (2022): $701
- Cost of living index: 72.7
- Livability score: 62
Also known as “The Glass City” for its glass industry, Toledo makes the perfect choice when it comes to green spaces and art exhibitions — The Toledo Art Museum comes with free admission. We’ve already said that the Midwest has some cheap costs, but this city REALLY has a good deal of low prices to boast about.
Only two other cities have lower rents, and just three boast a lower cost of living. Its livability score of 62, on the other hand, is quite good.
This sounds like a good deal when it comes to those retirees who rely exclusively on Social Security checks.
Well, as I see it, retirement and cold, lousy weather usually don’t go well together. However, if you don’t have a choice…then we might have made better retirement plans before we had no choice.
Where does Puerto Rico rank over all, for Americans, living on just Social Security income ?
To bad cold winters for retierment
You do not mention anything about utilities. North Dakota gets very cold in the winter. What are the cost of utilities in this town during winter. Can a person on SSI still be able to live afford to there?
OK, but who wants to live in Kansas or North Dakota?? Fishing and canoeing in Williston, ND? What, for maybe 4 months of the year?
