With factors such as a tax-friendly status and good climate, the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern state of Delaware was found to be the best state for retirement in the United States in 2024, according to financial services company Bankrate.
Bankrate analyzed American states on the basis of affordability, overall well-being, weather, the cost and quality of health care, as well as crime, said a July 22 report. Delaware came out on top this year. While the state isn’t a “retirement haven,” it has enough good metrics for retirees to move in, the report said. Delaware is a pricier state to live in compared to others, Bankrate noted. However, it scores well on certain affordability metrics.
