Atlanta was recently ranked No. 6 out of 182 U.S. cities for retirement in an analysis by WalletHub. 

The personal finance company compared the metros based on 45 key metrics under four broad categories: affordability, activities, quality of life and healthcare.  

Atlanta was fourth for activities, 52nd for healthcare, 56th for affordability and 96th for quality of life.  

“[Atlanta] ranks No. 4 for activities, making that its strongest overall category, and it has an especially strong cultural and community profile,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said. “Atlanta ranks No. 1 for museums per capita and No. 1 for the availability of adult volunteer activities. It also ranks 12th for music venues and 33rd for book clubs. These factors give retirees plenty of opportunities to remain active.” 

The top 5 cities for retirement were Orlando, Miami and Tampa, Florida; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Casper, Wyoming, respectively, while the bottom five places to retire were Rancho Cucamonga, California; Fresno, California; Newark, New Jersey; San Bernardino, California; and Stockton, California.
