Home to over 16,000 people, Vermillion County that ranks 6th in our list of best places to retire in Indiana is one of the smallest in the state. The 260 square mile county is located in the western area of Indiana, bordering Illinois. Fun fact, part of the border it shares with Illinois with a county also named Vermillion. Records indicate that they are just two of twenty-two counties or parishes in the United States that share the same name while bordering each other across state lines.

The average house costs just under $77,000, which is rather low compared to other areas. The cost of living index is also rather great, sitting at 79.6, meaning you’ll definitely save up some money since not many locations across the United States have such a low index. On the other hand, however, you’ll have to travel a bit to get more in-depth medical care since data indicates there are only 37 physicians per 100,000 people in Vermillion County.
