Which are the most popular retirement states? Not the ones you think.
Common wisdom suggests older Americans flock to sunny Florida and Arizona to retire. Financial experts urge seniors to consider cheaper retirement states, like Arkansas and Missouri. But where do Americans actually go to retire? Not where you think, according to a new study. Wyoming, home to Grand Teton National Park, has gained retirees at a faster pace than any other state in the past decade, according to a June analysis by BizInsure, the online insurance agency. South Carolina ranks second. Here's the full top 10: Neither Arizona nor Florida ranks among the states with the highest move-in rates for seniors, based on Census data from 2013 to 2023. Retirees are looking beyond Florida and Arizona That analysis and others suggest that older Americans are looking beyond traditional retirement meccas when they choose to relocate after they stop working. 'That whole line of thinking has changed dramatically,' said Chip Lupo, a writer and analyst at WalletHub, a site that ranks best cities and states for retirement. 'A generation ago, you just went to Florida.' According to the BizInsure report, today's retirees are 'moving to escape, chasing locations better known for hiking trails than beaches and bunko nights.' (We had to go to the dictionary on 'bunko.' Turns out it's a dice game.) Their analysis concludes that today's retiree wants 'fewer neighbors and more nature.' Several popular retirement states have populations – and population densities -- below the national average. Some classic retirement states, including Florida, Arizona and Nevada, experienced negative retiree growth between 2013 and 2023, according to the BizInsure report. But those states still have their charms. The analysis includes a list of 10 'best' retirement cities, considering their popularity among retirees, healthcare services and affordability, among other factors. Several of the top cities sit in time-honored retirement states. Peoria, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, tops the list of best retirement cities. Here's the full Top 10: Where do seniors move to retire: A second source There are, of course, many ways to slice and dice the data on top retirement destinations. AARP does a regular analysis of destinations for American retirees, also drawing on census figures. Their report looks at people moving to a new state specifically for retirement. The latest report, published in March, yields a very different ranking than the one above, but it's no less surprising. The top retirement destination, according to AARP, is Massachusetts, not a state most of us associate with retirement. Florida, more predictably, ranks second. Here's the full Top 10: Lupo, of WalletHub, said retirees are looking 'way beyond weather' when they retire in another state, weighing such factors as health care quality and the local cost of living index. 'For some, it might be strictly affordability,' said Rudri Patel, a senior financial expert at GOBankingRates. 'For others, it might be green space, weather, property taxes.' Here, from WalletHub, GOBankingRates and other sources, are a few other recent reports on best and worst places to retire. Where are the cheapest retirement states? The cheapest retirement state in 2025 is West Virginia, birthplace of Don Knotts and home to George Washington's bathtub. To retire comfortably in the Mountain State, you'll need an estimated $712,913 in savings and an annual budget of $50,954, according to GOBankingRates. Retirement in America now costs $1 million or more in 15 states, GOBankingRates found. The priciest state is Hawaii: You'll need $2.2 million in savings for a comfortable retirement. GOBankingRates calculated annual living expenses for retirees using data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics and local cost-of-living figures. Don't have a million dollars stashed away? Here are a few popular retirement states with lower costs than Hawaii. Which are the best retirement states? WalletHub did a recent ranking of best and worst states for retirement. Their analysis looks at 46 indicators of 'retirement-friendliness,' from tax rates and cost of living to quality medical care. Here are WalletHub's Top 5 states to retire in 2025: The worst retirement state? Kentucky, according to WalletHub. Yes, the same Kentucky that ranks fourth among retirement destinations, according to AARP. And here are WalletHub's Top 5 cities for retirees: What are the best states for seniors living alone? More than one quarter of seniors live alone, according to the Census. Living solo can present unique financial perils. A recent report from the senior care platform ranks the best states for over-65 Americans who live alone. The report assigned a score to each state based on more than a dozen factors, including living costs and health care. Three middle-of-America states, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas, rank first, second and third in the report. While didn't rank least desirable states for seniors who live alone, the report includes a heat map that gives a good idea of which states a cost-conscious senior might want to avoid, including California and Massachusetts. Yes, the same Massachusetts that ranks as the nation's top retirement destination, according to AARP.

She moved from Maryland to Morocco for a better life. She didn't expect to start a school in her home.
Julie Wilburn, 53, never anticipated that, over a decade after moving from Maryland to Morocco, she would be running her own school. That's now her reality. "I started with four kids out of my own house, and then I just started building a little school, and now it's been 13 years and I have this school that now has 60 to 65 students," Wilburn told Business Insider. Wilburn said she worked at small religious schools in Maryland, and when she met her husband, who is from Morocco, she decided she wanted a change. They moved to Morocco, and Wilburn found a teaching job. When the school shut down, she decided to start her own microschool, a model that typically has fewer than 20 students and focuses on personalized learning. American Group International, Wilburn's school in Agadir, teaches students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and they come from diverse backgrounds, including the United Kingdom, Spain, and France. "A lot of people are moving out of the first-world countries, and actually, the quality of life is better here," Wilburn said, adding that one thing she likes about Morocco is the availability of fresh food. Plus, the couple thought the US was getting too expensive. She referred to her electric bill: she said that in America, she was paying around $400 a month for electricity, and her bill in Morocco is just $25. Wilburn is one of many Americans who have left the US in search of a cheaper and better life. Her current role as a school leader is also representative of a growing movement in the US in which parents are seeking out alternative forms of education, like microschools, to best suit their children's needs. While her school is now larger than the typical microschool, Wilburn said the structure has been instrumental to helping students in the region succeed. "Our school's like family. They go home with their classmates, they have birthday parties together," Wilburn said. "It makes our school different than the bigger schools." 'Born out of a need' BI previously spoke to microschool leaders and advocates in the US who vouched for the alternative learning on the other hand, worry that minimal regulation over microschools could diminish their accountability. Mary Jo Fairhead, who runs a microschool in South Dakota, said that after working in a traditional public school for years, she saw a growing shift among parents who wanted more personalized educations for their kids, especially coming out of the pandemic. "If a child's struggling and they need something more personalized, we find it for them," Fairhead said. "Or if they're excelling and they need something that's going to challenge them more, we find that for them." Wilburn saw that same need for a different style of education in Morocco. "Our school was born out of a need: a need for inclusive education, small class sizes, and alternative pathways for students with diverse learning profiles, special needs, or families seeking a more holistic, flexible, and international approach to learning," she said. Wilburn obtained accreditation certificates for her school from two US-based agencies, and she said she is working to get regional accreditation to help expand her learning initiatives to other cities. She also partners with programs in the UK to provide English examinations and teacher training exams. While educational standards and regulations differ by region, some education analysts have expressed concerns with minimal oversight over microschooling in the US. Paige Shoemaker DeMio, a senior analyst for K-12 education policy at the left-leaning Center for American Progress, previously told BI that most states do not have legal definitions for what constitutes a microschool, paving the way for potential misuse of funds and inability to track students' progress. Ensuring success after students graduate is a priority, Wilburn said. Her school's curriculum includes bilingual English and Arabic instruction, and if her students want to go to college, she helps find them scholarships and placements. "I had one boy, he came back here from Saudi Arabia. I took whatever he could give me to help him get through school," Wilburn said. "And now this year he graduated with a British diploma with his BA, and he's going to go back to Saudi Arabia and work with his friend to help them run a school there."
