9. Anchorage, Alaska
Welcome to the most tax-friendly city in the US. Anchorage, a real gem of the north. Numerous parks, recreational facilities, wildlife refuges, and the famous Anchorage museum makes the capital of Alaska one of the most popular destinations for recent and future retirees. With a population of nearly 400,000, Anchorage has all the advantages of an active city, all while allowing you to reap the benefits of living in such a breathtaking natural environment. About 11.8% of the entire population is age 65+.

But that has its advantages. Anchorage is respected for its abundant cultural life, having some of the best cultural festivities in the entire country. The average income for 65+ households is $63k, which is a direct result of the state distributing the money from oil to every permanent resident equally. In 2017, that number was $1.100, which is not something you come across that often. Also, there are 43 healthcare centers per 1.000 seniors, compared to only 19 in the country as a whole.
