Retirement in Each of the Fifty States, Ranked

37. Vermont

Vermont offers peace, quiet, and postcard-worthy scenery—perfect for those seeking a rural retirement. The population is small, and healthcare is reasonably affordable, especially when compared to nearby states.

However, Vermont isn’t exactly budget-friendly. The cost of living is relatively high, and while it may be a bit cheaper than Massachusetts or Connecticut, it still requires some financial planning to retire comfortably here.
