Georgia is Nation's 20th Best State for Retirement
Florida (no surprise, there) is No. 1, but you'll have to read on to find out the one state you want to avoid in your golden years.
WalletHub has come out with a new ranking for the nation’s best states to live out your golden years. And Georgia is No. 20.
The company’s analysts compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia for affordability, quality of life and health care. Then it compiled two dozen metrics, such as the number of theaters, museums and golf courses; crime; air quality; weather; and access to doctors and dentists, among other factors. It then calculated the overall score for each state and ranked them.
Georgia scored 12 in affordability; 25 for quality of life; and 44 for health care for an overall rating of 57.84.
