Despite the popularity of Florida cities among retirees, the best US city for retirees, according to the survey, is Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Florida and Pennsylvania have dominated the list, accounting for nine of the ten cities.
According to Kiplinger, Florida does not tax income and Pennsylvania does not tax retirement pensions and distributions from 401(k), IRA or Social Security, which is tremendously advantageous for retirees.
These lists can be very helpful when deciding where to retire. However, keep your particular priorities in mind.
