Sunny. Walkable. And a low cost of living.
Nerdwallet recently came out with its rankings of the ten best cities for retirees.
Ranking cities by factors like medical care, climate and cost of living*, they sought to find the kind of places where retirees can kick back and relax but still engage in a bustling city culture when they want.
Cost of living used was based on the ACCRA cost of living index. The nationwide ACCRA average is 100. The numbers noted on each slide are percentages of that average.
10. Nashville, Tenn.
Cost of living index: 87.7
Percentage of people over age 65: 10.2 percent
Cost of a doctor's visit: $79
Nashville's average temperature is just shy of 60 degrees. Plus, the city made Conde Nast's list of the five best places to go in 2013 for its trendy food and famous music.
9. Tucson, Ariz.
Cost of living index: 93.8
Percentage of people over age 65: 11.9 percent
Cost of a doctor's visit: $100
Tucson received higher marks for walkability than most cities on the list. It has plenty of nearby hiking trails and birdwatching locations.
8. Louisville, Ky.
Cost of living index: 91.6
Percentage of people over age 65: 12.6 percent
