Here’s how Texas ranks on new list of best states for military retirees—
Military veterans looking to settle down in their retirement years may find happiness in Texas, which just ranked No. 21 on WalletHub’s annual list of the “Best and Worst States for Military Retirees.”
The Lone Star State has made some improvements over its 2024 placement, when it ranked No. 28.
Ever year, WalletHub’s analysts examine all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on each state’s capability of providing a comfortable lifestyle for the nation’s military retirees. States were ranked based on three categories: Economic environment, quality of life, and healthcare.
Texas has the sixth best economic environment for its military retirees, the report said. Factors that influenced the state’s rank include housing affordability, job growth, and tax-friendliness.
