- Most forms of retirement income, including IRAs, Social Security, pensions and 401(k)s are not taxed in the state of Pennsylvania. Sales tax rates are also low compared to the rest of the country, which makes the Pennsburg area a good choice for retirees concerned about living on a fixed income.

Healthcare and housing come in 1 and 4 percent above the state average, respectively, but utilities are 2 percent lower.
