Quite a few things usually come to mind while looking for a good place to retire. Among other things, you tend to think of health care and availability of physicians, crime rates and safety, weather and living cost. You also try to find out whether other retirees also like the place. If we look at Vermont’s performance on these metrics, we can see that it may miss the mark slightly on the weather because of the hot summers and cold winters, but it surely can boast of the comparatively very low crime rate, good education system, great entertainment opportunities and great healthcare system. The average cost of living may seem higher than the country average, but still you will find places like St. Johnsbury, which are actually cheaper than other parts of the country. And the state has a healthy share of people on or over 65.
