Colorado
If you’ve led an active life and you don’t plan to stop anytime soon, then Colorado may just be the state for you. Not only is the life expectancy after the age of 65 here quite high (20.1 years), but the gap between the average for men and women is the lowest among all the states on the list (19 years for men and 21.1 years for women).
Let’s be honest, when you think about Colorado, you envision the ski slopes and various winter lodges that everyone raves about, or maybe one of the many hiking trails that a lot of people love to go on in order to make the most of the fresh mountain air.
This may be the secret to why so many retirees not only choose this state to live in but also end up having long retirement years: the activity and the call of nature help them keep in shape and not forget the very active life they once had. You can both enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere while also having a way in which to stay active.
Maybe it was already on your list of best places to live! After all, this state is one of the most popular when it comes to people choosing the state they want to retire in. And we can not blame them, as the state has so much to offer that you would need 20 years or more to explore it!

it appears most recommended offering are in cold climates, are there any that offer warmer climates. good health care. affordable living. low are no taxes on retirement income
All high tax, high crime , and over regulated. Just amazing.
MA, NY, NJ, CT, MN, and HI are some of the highest taxed states in the country, and all except HI are cold weather states, also you need a high income to live in all of the listed states, but I do know from living in MN that the hospitals are better in northern states than southern states on the fact more people live in those states but living in SC is great weather is great it’s cheaper you can own a home for under 100k and you can live on a 2k social security check in SC you would be hard pressed to do that in any of the states mentioned in this article.
The problem with South Carolina is a shortage of medical staffing, is it not?
LOL; all blue states begging people to come back or stay. You can keep your sanctuary policies and corruption…hard pass.
You make a good point, as someone who will not choose to live in States where education is not a priority, where there is less high quality medical care per capita, where the desires of the bully pulpit crowd are put above those of the secular citizens, where books are burned (or at least removed from student access, where a woman can no longer choose whether or not she is ready to carry a child to term, where there is no restriction on religious interference in education, medical care or whom you are allowed to fall in love with. I don”t want to regress to pre 1940 / 1950 standards when so many suffered to attain those rights which should belong to every State and Commonwealth but instead are only enjoyed by those who can afflord the taxes which then get distributed to those ever lovin’ red states. As for Corruption, I can think of few institutions as corrupt as the Supremely perfect right leaning Court. Nobody is above the law and that includes those who interpret it as well as those who write the laws and the Ultimate Denier in Chief !
