[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about people's thoughts on this list, particularly the Pennsylvania cities. I've never been to most of these towns but it's appealing that they're not that far away from DC with a lower cost of living. I'm guessing that they're pretty White though?  As a POC that would be a minus.

1. Lancaster, Pennsylvania
2. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
3. Pensacola, Florida
4. Tampa, Florida
5. York, Pennsylvania
6. Naples, Florida
7. Daytona Beach, Florida
8. Ann Arbor, Michigan
9. Allentown, Pennsylvania
10. Reading, Pennsylvania

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is the No. 1 city to retire in, according to U.S. News & World Report’s recent “Best Places to Retire in the U.S.”

U.S. News & World Report evaluated the 150 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., including Puerto Rico, using data from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau and the Tax Foundation. The report assigns each city an overall retirement score based on six factors:

Housing affordability
Desirability
Happiness
Quality of health care
Retiree taxes
Job market
The researchers surveyed 3,100 people aged 45 and older about which of those categories would be most important to them in retirement and assigned weights to those categories accordingly.[/quote]

There is a joke that goes, “what do you call PA between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh?

Punchline:Alabama!

Some people also call the state, Pennsyltucky.

The rural parts of PA are very conservative, very MAGA, very Christian.  (Driving through I saw a factory with the sign, “ Will only hire the unvaccinated “ and flags proclaiming “Fu*k Biden”

Colleges towns (at least those affiliated with the college) would presumably be more sophisticated and value diversity.[/quote]
