Affordability: 31

Quality of Life: 7

Health Care: 13

At #10 on our list, Iowa didn’t top any “best of” lists, but it also didn’t rank as the worst on any of our lists, either! The quality of life in this state is off the charts, so you should feel excellent about this choice, and the healthcare ranking is quite good.

The only downside is affordability, which is something to seriously keep in mind. If you’re planning a long retirement, budgeting is very important, especially if you’re choosing a pricey state like this!
