Retirees Seek New Hotspots Beyond Florida
The American retirement landscape is evolving, with over 11,000 Americans turning 65 each day and many seeking alternatives to traditional retirement states. San Antonio, Texas, has become a leading retirement destination, attracting seniors with its affordability, lack of state income tax, and robust healthcare system, and is projected to see significant senior population growth by 2040. Mount Vernon, New York, experienced a 25% increase in residents aged 65 and over between 2018 and 2023, cementing its status as a fast-growing hotspot due to its proximity to Manhattan and relatively affordable housing. While Florida remains the most popular retirement state, new data indicates that retirees are considering more affordable locations with better access to urban amenities. New York City continues to be a major tourist destination, though it now ranks sixth in U.S. city walkability, behind cities like Seattle and Jersey City. These shifts highlight evolving retiree and traveler preferences for destinations that balance cost, convenience, and quality of life.
