Beyond health, New Hampshire clocked in at number 4 among the best places to retire, according to data from personal finance site Bankrate.com.
The state had a low crime rate, high marks for cultural vitality — including fun things to do — and top ratings for health care quality, according to Bankrate.com’s analysis.
Other states that are home to healthy older Americans include Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota and Utah, according to SeniorLiving’s analysis of the CDC data.
On the opposite end, Mississippi had the fewest number of older residents reporting they were healthy.
Approximately 64 percent of those 65 and over in the Magnolia State said their health was either “good,” “very good” or excellent.
