5. Utah
Surveys show that over the past decade, more and more retirees have chosen Utah to settle down. It’s no wonder when health care costs are as low as $271 per month. State income taxes are at 4.95%.
Utah is also the 4th growing state in the nation and has a large number of planned retirement communities. The state’s healthy economy has attracted a lot of business so while most of the state is unsettled, the more populated areas have a lot to offer in terms of entertainment and services.
