10 Best US Cities to Retire Affordably

Longer lifespans mean having more time to enjoy retirement—and also a longer timeframe over which your life's savings must stretch. Fortune honed in on this reality in its search for the most affordable US cities to retire. To assess what's affordable, they crunched 200 metrics across 2,000 cities, factoring in aspects such as cost of living, health care, walkability, and social engagement, to come up with a top list for retirees. Here are the 10 they deemed most affordable:

1. American Canyon, California
2. Newport, Rhode Island
3. Santa Clara, California
4. Beaufort, South Carolina
5. Portsmouth, New Hampshire
6. Shoreline, Washington
7. Maple Valley, Washington
8. Scarborough, Maine
9. Portland, Maine
10. Lafayette, Colorado
