New York has been ranked as the least affordable state to retire in the entire United States, while California doesn’t even make the top 10.

A report of WalletHub compared all 50 states using three main metrics: affordability, quality of life, and health care.

A particular state’s affordability was calculated using data from various sources, including the US Census Bureau and the Council for Community and Economic Research.

New York State ranked 10th in quality of living and 16th in health care, but ranked last (50th) in affordability, as the state has the second-highest adjusted cost of living, behind Alaska, and the third highest tax rate in the country.

The report goes on to suggest that even for someone with $1 million in retirement savings, that could only cover living costs for about 14 years, much less than the 25 years a retirement typically lasts.

New York has been ranked as the least affordable state to retire in the United States, as well as being home to the world’s most expensive city to live in.

Other northern states, including Maryland (46) and Illinois (42), were near the bottom of the table when it came to affordability.  Above, the Chicago River and Trump Tower are shown.

Several New England states, including Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine, developed the bottom 10 spots for least affordable places to live.

Vermont’s Green Mountain State ranked 48th followed by Massachusetts at 47th, though the Bay State ranked first for quality of life. Connecticut and Maine ranked 44 and 43 for affordability. However, Maine ranked sixth for quality of life.

Other northern states, including Maryland, 46, and Illinois, 42, were near the bottom of the table when it came to affordability.

The solidly Democratic northwestern states of Washington and Oregon came in 45th and 41st.

At the other end of the table, Alabama ranked first in affordability, followed by Tennessee and West Virginia in second and third, respectively.

South Carolina, Delaware, Wyoming and Georgia were next, with Wyoming also scoring high for quality of life, with the state ranking ninth.

“This is a period of uncertainty for many people, driven in large part by rising inflation and volatility in the markets,” said Christian Mitchell, Northwestern Mutual’s executive vice president and chief customer service officer.

“We’ve also seen year-over-year spending increases not only as a result of inflation, but also as people have regained a sense of normalcy in their lives after the early days of the pandemic,” he added.

“These factors are leading many people to recalibrate their thinking about how much they will need to retire and how long it will take to get there.”
