#7 Columbus, Ohio
The city of Columbus, Ohio is one of the most livable cities on our list, especially when you look at surveys and what other people are saying. Despite this, it isn’t even in the top 5 least expensive cities, and a big part of why that is the case is due to how expensive the groceries are here, coming in at over $405 every month. Otherwise, it redeems itself with the low monthly cost of healthcare, which comes up to $374.
Despite this, it would be a beautiful town to retire to, and one that will allow you to save some money, as the average monthly total of $1,680 gives you some room to save.
Most of those cuties have a high crime rate which the author overlooks.
All red state because democrats ruin everything! there corrupt and mentally ill.
???. People are polarized politically..life is not black and white…
Was going to say somebody needs to vet those numbers, then saw that this article is almost 3 years old. Pretty sure rent in Texas and Oklahoma is over a grand a month now…
Why is it that Democrat voters run and move to red states for more security and bring that same ignorant ideology with them? Only to continue to vote for the same ignorance that made them want to move in the first place. The so called “powers-to-be” run that guilt trip on Americans about equity and inclusion. If you feel left out, that’s on you. You cannot make society love you. You must first love yourself. You should also learn to do for yourself. Opportunity is what America gives, and it is yours for the taking.

We live in Calif. Blue state but our community is very RED. Great neighbors.
San Francisco should be on the list. Rent is zero. All you need is a sleeping bag. Just be careful where you step.
Its important for retired persons to know about climate(blizzards, searing high temperatures, etc); heating-cooling costs; public transportation and vehicles for hire. Also real crime info- if persons have health insurance as part of their retirement package- that will not necessarily change where you live. But Texas is in recent years has tornado’s, hurricanes, blistering heatwaves and snow blizzards. And the State’s utility infrastructure has not been able to withstand the weather pressures- heat or cold.
Just paying a few hundred $$ a month won’t help a retired ( with physical limitations) live a better quality of life.
Keep researching though, retired persons are looking for possible alternative places to live. THANK YOU for the article.
