17. Georgia
Georgia offers a dynamic mix of big-city life and Southern charm. The Atlanta metro area draws many for its jobs and amenities, while smaller towns provide a quieter pace. The state has a population of 10.9 million, with 1.6 million retirees.
Sales tax is low at 4%, and overall taxes are very reasonable. Summers are hot and humid, but there’s no shortage of rivers, lakes, and outdoor activities to help cool off.
