NEW YORK — New Hampshire is the best state to retire, according to a new Bankrate.com report. Colorado, Maine, Iowa and Minnesota comprise the rest of the top five.
The study examined eight key factors which were weighted in line with a nationally representative survey of non-retired U.S. adults. From most to least important, the categories were: cost of living, healthcare quality, crime, cultural vitality, weather, taxes, senior citizens' well-being and the prevalence of other seniors.
Arizona, Florida and Nevada are popular retirement destinations, however, none cracked the top 10.
