#5 Laredo, Texas
Contrary to some of the other cities on our list, this is our second Texan city (and it isn’t the last, rest assured), the city of Laredo isn’t for those who love to socialize and be surrounded by a lot of people of the same age.
We aren’t saying you won’t find people that are in a similar position to you, but rather that with only a fraction of the population being 65 and older (9% to be more exact), it could be a challenge for the social butterflies.
Otherwise, the city has one of the lowest average costs for groceries, coming in at $380, for a monthly total of about $1,589! It’s really not a bad deal if you’re a fan of solitude.

All red states. I’d rather pay more and live in a blue state where women have rights and the LBGTQ community is welcome.
Women have rights? I assume you mean regarding abortion. Funny how the life within said woman has no rights………even up to birth…..NOT RIGHT…the kid does too. Reproductive rights? How you can obfuscate this phrase away from reality is also NOT RIGHT
Most cities, even in red states are deep blue.
I totally agree
You have got to be kidding. Every city has either hot and humid summers, or freezing winters, which drives up utility costs, and is not outdoor friendly. I grew up in Illinois and I have no desire to go back to that weather or tornadoes! I guess I’ll stay in Coastal Oregon, where the climate is mild and the ocean and forests are breathtaking for a senior outdoor lover! Even with a high cost of living.
This list is good but one very important thing left out is the crime rate per city. That has a lot to do with where you decide to live especially if a more mature adult.
You’re Kidding, Right. Are you promoting Texas? Oklahoma, really. This must be a joke. There is only one city I would even want to visit on this list. We will stay in the Pacific Northwest with our lush, green country sides, our beautiful lakes, our four seasons, and our great people who embrace diversity.
Funny people in blue states believe media lies about red states not accepting *certain* communities. Fact is, they accept ALL communities, even liberals. Blue states pick & choose groups “worthy” of their social justice attention, not realizing irony of continued failed results (as seen here) by socializing ineffective government to FORCE inequity. How arrogant. Yes, inequity when assuming certain groups are unable to achieve without their assistance. If blue state govern officials get richer after raising taxes, how is their campaigned for social programs working for y’all? Red states take care of their own, with a smile, regardless of color, orientation, or potential ability to manipulate votes from. That’s why so many have left blue states for red…turn off CBS news & find out for yourselves!
Keep the haters out of Red states!
