“ Score: 88
As we said before, various retirement rankings often disagree — and few states are more divisive than Texas. MoneyRates and WalletHub both place the Lone Star State in their bottom 10, while RetirementLiving calls it the second-best place to retire in the whole country.
Texas boasts no income tax, relatively inexpensive homes and endless adventure, both inside its dynamic cities and out in the wilderness.
Yet even RetirementLiving acknowledges that property taxes are a “burden,” and vehicle theft is a growing problem. WalletHub points out that Texas has the third smallest percentage of seniors in the U.S. — so while there’s fun to be had, you might not have friends to share it with.
“If you hate driving, Texas is not for you,” Daniel Lunsford on Quora adds. “A three-hour drive along wide open interstates going 60+ mph is 'next door' by Texas standards. And our public and regional transit is abysmal, so driving is your only chance to go farther than across town.”
