How much did Vermont have to pay to avoid being on this list?
Gimme a break.
Top states not to move to:
Illinois
New York
California
Connecticut
Washington
Oregon
Virginia
I would add Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts and other lib hellholes to this list.
What is “wellness”?
What is “culture”?

THIS
how about the top 10 states to move to?
add in plenty more if you prefer a warmer climate
warmer states tend to be better for the elderly to live better and live longer
harder winters are harder on older immune systems and bodies
Come on, man!
I went to the article and tried to study it. There are no definitions, or links that I found, to explain what “affordability” means and what an 8 (Alabama) means vs. 47 (Maryland) implies, nor what “culture” means, etc.
Poor poor “report.” Not helpful at all.
Ed-ji-muh-cate this poor southerner with the info, someone.
Ha! I am retired and live in Connecticut. It is a nice state if you are well-off. But the guys without money usually move away when they retire.
New York State (especially away from NYC) isn’t nearly as bad to retire in as opposed to actively working there. Wages are where they really ding you on taxes.
Yup, everyone in Alabama is really sick and we have no culture. Stay away!
how could any state be worse than Massachusetts???
Wellness: Hospitals, Clinics, Eldercare facilities, etc...
Culture: Museums, The Arts, Historic Towns, and Buildings...
With these sorts of rankings it all depends on the criteria used to come up with the rank order of states. Some criteria, such as wanting to be in a warm weather climate, may outrank others for individuals.
And to talk of a criterion such as crime, statewide crimes rankings are meaningless. There are many low crime towns within high crime states.
Maine ranked #1 for culture? MAINE??? Puhleeeze!
I’d like to go to north carolina. some of the coastal areas have taxes below 1000 per year.
I wanted to move to a warmer climate when I retired—but at the end of the day there were other very personal factors that made it a no go....everyone’s situation is different—and state rankings are not that helpful.
Thanks!
I’ll just go with “affordable”.
If you live outside a city in a harsh winter area, you’re likely to get significantly more exercise than teenage city dwellers.
