Wallethub has published their version of a best places to retire list. Their criteria are affordability, quality of life, and health care.
First and second are Florida and Colorado. The last places are New Jersey and Kentucky.
The article lists their criteria in detail, and some are rather suspect to me. I'm not sure why I would care what share of 65 and older volunteer or have inadequate sleep? Also their tax friendliness rating is for state and local, but the results seem weird (CA is more tax friendly than FL or TX?).
It is clearly aimed at 65+, so YMMV for ER.
