Pennsylvania: Oil City
With the percentage of the 65 and older population hitting 23% of the town’s population, Oil City is one of the most sought-after towns for retirement. Not only will you not get taxed on your social security benefits, but you will also have no tax to pay on your retirement income!
The city is charming, and if you decide to relocate here, you can expect not to spend a lot on a new home, as the average price will bring you a few thousand over $100,000. Talk about great savings!
And if you’re worried that the cheap home prices might attract an unpleasant crowd, you can rest assured that’s not the case here. When talking about violent crime, for every 1,000 people living here, the incidence is just 16.85. Crimes aren’t really a thing in this quaint town, so there’s no need to worry!
I’d MUCH prefer any of the numerous tropical expat destinations! The would not only be less expensive (possibly significantly less), but nicer weather than any of these places.
Pennnsylvania can eat you up with school taxes. Being a commonwealth, the whole state is broken up into townships. So much waste and duplication of services it more than makes up for not taxing social security or retirement income. The school tax is the killer. The state has more tax collectors than the entire country combined.
I retired in Brazil. Free health care which includes unlimited doctor´s visits, hospitalizations, transplants, free hearing aids and cataracts surgery, affordable medicine and many is free.
save places to live with high security, great climate and extremely nice people. You can live well on your Social Security income.
Nowhere is it mentioned about culture, health care, cost of food or gas. Based on your study, I’d rather live in my 40ft Class A motor home.
Move away from Pennsylvania..They tax you for everything and their taxes are outrageous….
