McMinnville, Oregon

Oregon’s McMinnville is a notable city for the aging population, according to the Milken Institute list. It boasts of many benefits for retirees—it has good air quality, healthcare professionals are within reach, and it has a low serious crime rate which gives everyone peace of mind when it comes to home security. The retirees also need not be bothered by state sales tax and state income taxes that pose a decrease in their social security income.

Although the city is a promising place with its attractions and low population, some perils need to be considered. However, retirees need to expect a higher cost of living of 17%. The city is not that walkable, meaning you have to either take public transportation or buy a vehicle. The commodity may also cost one to have a long list of bills. When buying your home, be prepared to allot more than $300,000.
