Retirement is all about freedom and choice. It’s doing what you want on your terms, like moving to a new town to be closer to family, craving warmer weather or simply wishing for a different view from your kitchen window. Making sure the retirement town you choose is safe and yet still provides everything you need when you retire is vital to any move.
Analyzing data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey, Sperling’s BestPlaces and the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey, GoBankingRates found cities that are both "wealthy" and "safe." Cities were considered when at least 25% of the population was age 65 or older.
