The factors involved in determining which states are the best to retire consist of affordability, health related factors, and overall quality of life. Overall, Wyoming finished as the 11th best state to come to retire.

In terms of affordability and health care, the state finished 14th and 13th overall which certainly helped our case. Wyoming was also 5th overall in 'best WalletHub taxpayer ranking'. So, several factors were involved in helping Wyoming its overall achievement score when it comes to retirement.
