21. Idaho
Idaho is an ideal destination for nature lovers, surrounded by scenic states like Montana and Oregon. With a population of 1.9 million and 315,400 residents aged 65 or older, it’s a quiet and affordable place to settle down. The cost of living is 5% below the national average, and the state has a reasonable 6% sales tax.
However, if you’re looking for a bustling urban lifestyle, Boise—Idaho’s largest city—might not fully satisfy. While charming and growing, it still has a small-town feel compared to larger metropolitan areas.
