FOX BUTTERFIELD ALERT:
Best and Worst States for Retirement 2017 (Richard Barrington, 2/06/17, MoneyRates.com)
4. New HampshireBest States for Retirement 2017 - 4. New HampshireThe New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont are all clustered together around this stage of the rankings, and it is no surprise because these neighbors share some characteristics. Like Maine, New Hampshire is not going to win any prizes for its climate, but it does benefit from very low crime rates. While New Hampshire isn't quite as popular with older residents as Maine, the proportion of its population aged 60 or older does rank in the top 10 nationally.
Crime rates are, in part, a function of climate.
