This is another one of those clickbait articles similar to the many articles on "Best Places to Retire", but with a different angle, loathing of older people.
The article is mostly innocuous drivel obviously written by AI bot, but near the end it gets interesting. Check out the reasons why people are leaving Beckley, WV. Then look at Reidsville, GA. I'm thinking this is where an actual human stepped in and edited the AI content. In fact, I'd say this person hates West Virginia -- take a look at the entry for Weirton, WV:
Welcome to the land where the hillbilly was born and is still going strong. No wonder people are leaving Weirton; there is little opportunity for career growth, extremely conservative beliefs, little diversity, poor healthcare, and horrible school systems all make this terribly small town a nightmare to raise a family in. On top of all that, Weirton has an aging population, with more than one in every five Weirton residents 65 or older. With nothing to do except go to Wal-Mart if you want anything to do after nine pm, we'd also want to scoot on out if we lived here.
Look at the description of Zephyrhills, FL:
It's not difficult to see why so many have left; it's very slow-paced, mostly due to the elderly population and the fact that there's not much to do around. People are nice for the most part; however, driving must be horrible here.
