The state that has long been associated with condos for active seniors, golf, and no state income tax didn’t even make it into the top five best states to retire in, according to a recent report from Bankrate.
Florida settled at eighth on Bankrate’s 2024 list, trailing behind more affordable states like West Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, and Mississippi. Delaware, which has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country, home insurance rates that are about 50% lower than the national average, and a high proportion of residents over the age of 62, took the top spot.
