Massachusetts ranks 12th for having the highest percentage population of seniors but ranks very poorly based on the cost of living. The health care cost of living index for Massachusetts is 119 so it is significantly more expensive for seniors to live in Massachusetts most areas of the United States (average =100). Utilities and housing also rank well above average at 136 and 133 respectively. Of course, longtime residents of Massachusetts have acclimated to the high cost of living and should find it no surprise that assisted living facilities and other senior living options can quickly consume a retirement fund.
