15. Texas


Texas has seen a surge in population, partly due to its retiree-friendly appeal. With no income tax, a 6.25% sales tax, and a cost of living 10% below the national average, it’s an economic win for many. The state is massive, with 30 million residents and 3.9 million over the age of 65.

From beaches to deserts and cities to ranches, Texas offers something for everyone. Its variety of regions and cultural influences make it one of the most diverse retirement options on the list.
