9. Ohio
Median home price: $123,500
Health care costs: 2% below the national average
Moderately tax friendly
Ohio is not as tax friendly as other places on this list of cheapest states to live in the US for seniors. While social security income is exempt from taxation other types of retirement income are partly taxed. Moreover, sale and property tax rates are a bit higher compared to US average. On the bright side, real estate prices and overall costs of living are well below the national average. Besides affordability, Ohio is attractive to seniors because of diverse cultural offer, beautiful nature and outdoor opportunities in the area of Lake Erie, Ohio River, and Miami River.
