The Happiest, Healthiest, and Most Social States for Seniors were determined through a community network that connects older persons to resources.
Their team examined 50 states and Washington, D.C. to determine the best place for everlasting pleasure.
Weather, social activities, transportation, and citizen happiness determined each state's rating. Top destinations promoted "a healthy, active, and fun-loving lifestyle across the United States."
Kentucky was the least fun state to live in, with mental health and happiness difficulties and a lack of parks, restaurants, and pubs. Nevada, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Mississippi were also the least enjoyable states.
The community enjoyed Montana third most. Its natural beauty, tax-friendly retirement perks, growing food scene, and good healthcare ratings make it a great place for retirees.
Minnesota ranked second for seniors. The community found great golf courses in Minnesota and that "90.3 percent of people live within a half-mile of a park." Minnesota's cost of living is somewhat lower than the national average.
Florida, a stark contrast to Minnesota, topped the list. Fortune forecasts 78,000 retirees in Florida. Year-round warmth and lower retirement benefit taxes draw many there.
Florida has the most fun due to its activities, healthcare, arts, and culture, despite its "slightly higher cost of living than the national average," according to Community's research.
The top state was also ranked well for community and sociability for seniors. "Just seven percent of older adults [in Florida] say they are lonely," the survey claims, adding that Florida "is effectively a hotbed of social connections for older people."
Nebraska, Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Delaware complete the top 10 enjoyable states for seniors.
The research also discovered that "four golf courses and 211 restaurants or bars per 100,000 population" are available across the nation, showing that senior citizens may have fun across the country.
