23. Wisconsin
Wisconsin is more than just cheese and farmland. It boasts vibrant cities like Milwaukee and Green Bay and has appealing tax breaks for lower-income retirees. With a population of 5.9 million and 1.1 million seniors, it strikes a balance between rural charm and urban accessibility.
However, healthcare costs are higher here, and in certain areas, the cost of living can be steep. Sales tax is 5%, and winters can be intense—but for the right person, it’s a flavorful retirement choice.
