Sioux Falls, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls has been named one of Money magazine’s Nine Great Places to Retire. Sioux Falls was listed as a runner up in the category of Best Place to Keep Costs Low.
The nine winning towns offer affordable living, great encore career opportunities, and plenty of amenities, according to the magazine. Sioux Falls was rated high for access to specialty health care and availability of great dining options.
To determine their list, Money started with a study by the National Institute on Retirement Security, which included factors such as housing prices, taxes on pension income, job opportunities, and Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. Researchers then mined data including crime rates, available green space, job growth, and access to health care. They also took into account large employers and amenities like the arts and recreation.
