Nebraska

Nebraska has also been ranked as one of the best states to retire in 2021. If you can handle the cold and all four seasons, Nebraska is the place to go for retirement. It’s a safe state with a low crime rate and the cost of living is lower than in other states, like Florida, for instance. Healthcare facilities in Nebraska meet or exceed 61% of the benchmarks for quality healthcare, about two-thirds higher than in most states across America.

Some of the biggest benefits of retiring in Nebraska include:

  • Cost of living lower than the national average
  • Home to Omaha Zoo and Aquarium houses, the largest indoor jungle and indoor desert
  • Unique natural attractions like a large sand dunes complex
  • World-class cuisine
