Americans are retiring in record numbers — but where they’re actually going in 2026 might surprise you.
In this video, we break down the 15 U.S. states retirees are truly moving to, based on migration trends, affordability, healthcare access, taxes, cost of living, and overall quality of life. This isn’t a brochure-friendly list or a real estate sales pitch. It’s a reality check.
Some traditionally popular retirement states are losing appeal fast, while others are quietly attracting retirees who want stability, manageable costs, and a lifestyle that doesn’t feel like a financial obstacle course.
We cover:
Why retirees are leaving high-cost states
Which states are winning retirees in 2026
How housing costs, property taxes, and insurance affect retirement decisions
Why healthcare access matters more than warm weather
