#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.
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.
