46. New Jersey

If you've ever been to New Jersey, then you probably know that it's a popular retirement spot. It has a little something to offer for everybody, and if it doesn't have it, you can bet New York City, which is just a train ride away, does. The state has around 9.3 million residents, with 1.6 million being 65 or older. Sales tax is 6.625% in New Jersey, which isn't too bad.

However, the cost of living is pretty high in New Jersey, as are the healthcare costs, which can throw a wrench in many people's plans to retire to the Garden State.
