USA Today Rates Retirement Areas
According to an article published in USA Today the Lakes Region of New Hampshire has been rated #8 in the top 10 retirement areas in the United States.
The statistical study, first done in 1983, reflects a continuing shift from Florida as a retirement haven to the Northwest, the Rocky Mountains and the desert southwest. The Lakes Region is an exception, being the only area in the northeast in the top 10.
The study of 203 places uses data in six categories: cost of living, climate, crime, economy, ambience (historic preservation, performing arts, and restaurants) and services (hospitals, libraries, continuing education).
