7. Kansas

Kansas finally seems to be getting its due. However, many suspect the low taxes that in part make it so attractive may be raised in the near future. Still, Kansas is home to Kansas City and Wichita, as well as other smaller but just as charming towns.

Around 2.9 million people live in Kansas, and around 484,300 of them are 65 or older. The state's sales tax is 6.5%, but as we said, look for other taxes to rise.
