The following is an excerpt from Becker's Hospital Review.
Cities in Florida and Northeastern states fill many of the top 20 retirement hot spots in the U.S., according to an analysis released Dec. 16 by StorageCafe, a nationwide self-storage search website and part of Yardi.
For the analysis, StorageCafe examined the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas using data from County Health Rankings, the FBI, the Census Bureau, the Council for Community and Economic Research, the Environmental Protection Agency, Weather Source, Retirement Living, Zillow, Trust for Public Land, World Population Review and Yardi Matrix.
Here are the top 20 retirement hot spots in the U.S., according to the analysis:
1. Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.

Are they sure they “want” to retire there or is that is where a lot of retired people live? I’ve never once said let’s move to Cleveland!
Me neither!
LOL on many of the areas. If they add crime as criteria many cities would fall to the bottom
The weirdest list of popular retirement spots in America that I have ever seen.
Charlottesville, VA used to be listed as one of the top small cites to live and to retire to. After the event, it is never listed anywhere. Moderate climate with 4 seasons, relatively inexpensive, though that's changing and some of the best hospitals, medical systems in the World. . Many retirees here.
I don't trust those results. Why are so many high taxes/high crime/terrible winters cities in the northeast on there? And no Texas cities in the top 10? Come on, man!
