Are you planning to retire soon? If so, be careful not to relocate to any of these worst place to retire locations. Depending on what’s important to you, these destinations could turn your dream into a nightmare:
Clearwater City, Florida: It has the highest percentage of seniors of any U.S. city. This “graying” of Florida in general, has cause many retirees to change their mind and leave, fleeing the bland culture, extreme weather and high real estate and homeowner’s insurance prices of Florida.
Austin, Texas is the place where you will have hard time getting a doctor who takes medicare patients because the rate Medicare pays doctors is so low . That used to be a problem primarily for rural areas, but now it’s spreading to cities.
Anchorage, Alaska: One thing is too many fellow senior but then there is too few fellow seniors. If you like to be with people your own age, Alaska may be lonely. The state has only about half the percentage of seniors as the rest of the country.
Provo, Utah has the largest youthful population. The median age in Provo, Utah is a mere 22.9 — the lowest median age of any place with a population of 100,000 or more. You might find it hard to fit in with all those youngsters.
