10 Best Places to Retire in Rhode Island

10. Woonsocket

Cost of living index: 104.6

Number of physicians: 402

Crime rate: 56

Woonsocket, RI is actually one of the cheaper cities in the state even though the cost of living here is above the US average. As mentioned before, Rhode Island is an extremely costly place overall. The sixth largest city in the state (by population), Woonsocket offers retirees a good healthcare system with a number of available physicians being much higher than the US average which is 261. The crime rate, however, is high, which has pushed it down the list.

This city is a home to many historical places and churches. It houses the Museum of Work and Culture as well. Entertainment for the nature loving is also not hard to find, as one can go on canoe trips on the Blackstone River or swim to get some exercise.
