Nestled among picturesque landscapes, this often underrated gem offers a trifecta of benefits that make it the ideal state to retire, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/retirement\/best-state-to-retire\/\">BankRate\u2019s 2023 survey.<\/a> Here\u2019s everything you need to know about retiring in the Hawkeye State.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Affordable Cost of Living<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When making the most of your retirement savings, Iowa emerges as a shining star. The state\u2019s ability to help provide an economical lifestyle is a big attraction for retirees. According to the Council for Community and Economic Research, Iowa is the sixth-cheapest place to live in the U.S.. The state\u2019s median home price of $239,400, according to Redfin, is well below the nationwide median home price of $388,800. Homeowners insurance is below the national average as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/cost-of-living-calculator\/us\/ia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaking down the numbers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s evident that day-to-day expenses in Iowa consistently come in under national averages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housing costs are 28% lower<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilities are 6% more affordable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transportation expenses are 2% less<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These figures highlight Iowa\u2019s attraction to retirees who want to maintain a high quality of life without undue financial strain. The state\u2019s cost-effectiveness helps provide a cushion for your retirement dollars, further allowing you to experience what truly matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tax Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iowa\u2019s tax provisions for retirees offers a range of favorable benefits, but ranks only<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a023rd in property taxes,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a median assessment of $4,012 annually. According to the Iowa Department of Revenue, like most states, Iowa doesn\u2019t tax social security benefits, and Iowans who are <a href=\"https:\/\/tax.iowa.gov\/retirement-income-tax-guidance\">55 and older<\/a> are exempt from paying state taxes on retirement income for the 2023 tax year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This exclusion allows individuals to exclude a portion of their retirement income, such as pensions and annuities, from state income taxes; ultimately helping to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lower retirees&#8217; tax liability and help enable them to retain more of their hard-earned income during their golden years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Quality Healthcare<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare services and low healthcare costs in the state also influenced the top ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iowa boasts a world-class healthcare system that ranks 11th in the nation. Healthcare expenses remain one of the fastest-growing expenses \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ama-assn.org\/about\/research\/trends-health-care-spending\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rising about 6 percent annually.<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This primarily affects older Americans, given that many are on fixed incomes and health deteriorates as we age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, University of Iowa Hospitals &amp; Clinics continues to receive national recognition with seven specialties included in the 2023\u201324 \u201cBest Hospitals\u201d rankings published by <a href=\"https:\/\/health.usnews.com\/best-hospitals\/rankings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. News &amp; World Report<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UI Hospitals &amp; Clinics\u2014ranked by U.S. News as Iowa\u2019s No. 1 hospital\u2014rated in the top 50 hospitals for two specialties:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ophthalmology \u2013 No. 6<\/li>\n<li>Ear, nose, and throat \u2013 No. 28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, five specialties were designated as high-performing, which places them in the top 10% of hospitals across the country:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cancer<\/li>\n<li>Gastroenterology and GI surgery<\/li>\n<li>Orthopedics<\/li>\n<li>Pulmonology and lung surgery<\/li>\n<li>Urology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The methodology for compiling the rankings includes clinical outcomes, such as patient survival, infection rates, and complications; the level and quality of hospital resources related to patient care, such as staffing, technology, and special services; delivery of health care, such as programs that prevent infections and adherence to best practices; and expert opinion among specialists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Safety and Peace of Mind<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety is a fundamental concern when choosing a place to retire. Iowa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/retirement\/best-state-to-retire\/#why-is-iowa-the-best-state-to-retire-in\">ranks 12th overall in crime<\/a>, offering retirees a tranquil environment to relish their newfound freedom. With low crime rates and close-knit communities, Iowa fosters a strong sense of security that can help retirees to explore the state\u2019s natural beauty, engage in community activities, and build meaningful connections with their neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The Idyllic Lifestyle<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iowa\u2019s serene countryside, dotted with rolling hills, lush farmlands, and scenic rivers, provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. From leisurely hikes to birdwatching, fishing to golfing, there\u2019s no shortage of activities to keep you engaged and active in your retirement years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those with a penchant for cultural experiences, Iowa surprises with its vibrant arts and entertainment scene. From world-class museums to open air music festivals &#8211; and let\u2019s not forget the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iowastatefair.org\/\">Iowa State Fair<\/a> &#8211; the Hawkeye State&#8217;s entertainment attracts visitors from far and wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Retirement Planning Support<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If retiring in Iowa appears the perfect fit for you, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/johnsonwim.com\/about\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johnson Wealth and Income Management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is here to help you every step of the way.
