It should come as no surprise given the state\u2019s legendary popularity with retirees, but\u00a0the top three cities to retire<\/a> in the United States are all in Florida, with\u00a0Miami\u00a0coming in second between Orlando and Tampa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a recent analysis<\/a>, personal finance company WalletHub compared<\/a>\u00a0182\u00a0U.S. metros on a range of\u00a045 key\u00a0metrics\u00a0under four broad categories:\u00a0affordability, activities, quality of life and healthcare.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami scored high based on the abundance of retiree-friendly activities, coming in first for art galleries and fishing facilities per capita and seventh for adult volunteer opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami \u2014 and all Florida cities for that matter \u2014\u00a0also\u00a0received points for tax friendliness, since the state has no estate or income taxes and has low taxes in general. Miami is the sixth-most walkable city\u00a0in the rankings\u00a0and has plenty of easily accessible public transportation\u00a0as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor older residents who want to remain active and socially engaged, those amenities can make a meaningful difference in day-to-day quality of life,\u201d WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said. \u201cMiami also has\u00a0relatively favorable\u00a0care costs, ranking 18th for homemaker services.\u00a0Its access to care is another strength, particularly its No. 1 ranking for home healthcare facilities per capita and No. 21 ranking for geriatric hospitals.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scottsdale, Arizona, and Casper, Wyoming rounded out the top five places to retire<\/a>, while the bottom five cities\u00a0for\u00a0retirement\u00a0were Rancho\u00a0Cucamonga, California; Fresno, California; Newark, New Jersey; San Bernardino, California; and Stockton, California, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
