Utah might not be the first state you think of when you’re considering retirement, but it’s a hidden gem of beautiful landscapes, good weather, and friendly people. Oh, and there’s lots of Jell-O. No, really.

The downside? Despite the great ranking for retirement, it does hit #50 on the lowest percentage of the population aged 65 and older list, as well as having the fewest museums per capita in the US. Not ideal, by far. If you can overlook this, however, there is a lot of good here!
