BEST CITIES FOR RETIREES

To make the cut as one of our Best Cities for retirees, a place first had to offer vibrant cultural and education amenities, or be close to them. Specific criteria were reasonable health-care costs, a high concentration of doctors per capita, and a low total crime rate. Because creative class is a key factor in selecting all these cities, you can bet retirees will find others interested in more than golf and bridge.
