37. Vermont

Vermont checks a lot of boxes if you're looking to retire to New England. It has a low population of 643,064, with 132,471 being 65 or older. Healthcare costs are relatively affordable when compared to the rest of the country. And who wouldn't want to retire to an idyllic town in the Vermont countryside? Of course, Vermont isn't perfect, and there are some things retirees should be aware of.
