43. Rhode Island
Though it’s the smallest state in the U.S., Rhode Island packs in a lot of charm. With its rich colonial history, abundant coastal towns, and delicious seafood, it offers a quaint and scenic setting for retirees who enjoy culture and seaside living.
However, that charm comes at a cost. The state’s cost of living is about 22% above the national average, and the sales tax sits at 7%. Out of its 1.1 million residents, only about 199,000 are seniors, making it less of a retirement hotspot than others on this list.
