St. Tammany Parish Featured in Where to Retire Magazine
Houston, TX (Feb. 11, 2020) – St. Tammany Parish, LA, has been selected as a top retirement destination by Where to Retire, the only magazine in America geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions. The parish is profiled in the March/April 2020 issue, available nationwide now.
Where to Retire Editor Annette Fuller said St. Tammany Parish possesses qualities important to today’s retirees. “Scrumptious cuisine, affordability, a mild climate and proximity to New Orleans just scratch the surface of St. Tammany Parish’s merits,” Fuller said. “Covington has a walkable downtown brimming with local shops, while antique stores abound in Slidell. Mandeville has historic districts and plenty of Creole eateries. One interviewed retiree said this area, often called the Northshore, ‘makes you quickly realize how blessed you are.’”
Retirement Relocation Trends
According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns in retirement each year. Generally, these relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than those who choose to not relocate, and they bring significant economic benefits to their new states and hometowns.
Florida continues to reign as the No. 1 destination for retirement relocation, followed by Arizona, South Carolina and North Carolina. The most popular region is the Southeast, claiming eight of the 17 states showing increases in total net retiree migration. This research and the latest census data is detailed in Where to Retire’s four-part series on retirement relocation. Order these back issues online.
