10 Best Places to Retire in Florida On Social Security

4. Calhoun

Total score: 367.484

Millage rate: 17.13

Median home price: $74,200

Cost of living index: 83.5

With a population that’s quite low, with under 15,000 residents and a median age of over 40, Calhoun County is a great choice for those looking to move to one of the 10 best places to retire in Florida on social security.

The unemployment rate of 5.4 percent is below the 6.3 percent that’s the median rate across the United States, so things are quite ok economically. On the other hand, according to the 2000 census, some 20 percent of the population was living below poverty line, although things have hopefully improved since. The median home price here is of $74,200 so it should be ok if you have any kind of savings set aside or perhaps another home to sell.
