Cheyenne is the capital of Wyoming and home to roughly 9,450 seniors who enjoy some of the lowest taxes in the nation. In addition to Wyoming’s lack of state income tax, Cheyenne is one of the least-expensive cities to live in nationwide, allowing residents greater financial freedom to pursue their interests. These can include biking on the Cheyenne Greenway, hiking in the mountains and fishing in one of Wyoming’s plethora of rivers. Cheyenne Transit offers bus services around the city six days per week, and seniors pay half-price for to ride. Cultural enthusiasts will enjoy Cheyenne’s Botanic Gardens, which are free to walk through, and seniors can take college courses for $10 per credit at Laramie County Community College.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
