A new WalletHub survey has once-again rated the Mountain States has one of the best places to retire.


Wyoming ranked 4th, Idaho ranked 9th overall and Montana came in at 15th. Washington was near the bottom - at 43rd.


The WalletHub survey ranked Montana as one of the best "taxpayer" states, while Idaho was ranked one of the best for its low property crime. Washington, again, was ranked one of the worst.



The high rankings for Wyoming, Idaho and Montana reflect the work done by lawmakers and business leaders to keep taxes and regulations low, and protect communities from crime.
