13. Nebraska

Nebraska might not be on your list of top places to retire, but the state probably should be. To start with, the cost of living is incredibly low at 12% below the nation's average. And while you might not think about cities when you think of Nebraska, Omaha has around 1.3 million people. That's a pretty large population, especially when you consider that the state only has 2 million people living there. Around 328,000 residents are 65 or older.

Sales tax is 5.5%, but we should mention that the state does tax Social Security and retirees' income. Still, taxes, in general, are usually pretty low in Nebraska.
