Does Pennsylvania offer some kind of tax breaks to have that many places listed in the top? I feel like there is more places outside of Penn to retire to. Wonder what all the factors were?

What a strange assortment. We've stayed in most of those PA cities and it wasn't even easy to find restaurants in some of them. Harrisburg for breakfast? One place open within the down town area.
Scranton? Limited dinner options. Mostly empty downtown.
But one thing stood out: social problems were not blatant because they and their families had all mored to Philly. A family friend near Lancaster said she seldom sees that subset of humanity.

Pittsburgh, Penn.
Pittsburgh is such a great, fun town. It's also home.
It's severely underrated. It's also the capital and biggest city in Appalachia.

I've been to both of these places. They were boring little towns. The only decent restaurant I found was in the casino.

Fun to visit, but I can't imagine retiring there. COL is too high, among other things. Upstate NY could be real nice though.

I’ve spent more time than I care to in central PA, and there’s no fricking shot on earth I’d retire there.
I don’t know who wrote that article, but it’s high levels of delusion.

I see "Healthcare" is a factor. Is this mostly graded on outcomes rather than the actual quality of care available to a population which is how it's usually factored in on these things?

Same here and I agree. Harrisburg is a nice-ish city but you can tell Pennsylvania paid for these spots. If I were to retire in a Penn city it would have to be Bethlehem.

We used to live in Fletcher, which was nice, but Henderson County taxes are now nearly the same rate as Asheville.
Brevard, Mars Hill/Marshall, and most of east Tennessee are very appealing. Greenville SC is top notch and close enough to mountains to where you can do those things you mentioned.
The big issue with Asheville, outside of the whacked out liberal politics that rule the place, is because of terrain, vehicle traffic gets condensed to just a few roads, especially for people going north-south.
South of town, you only have three options and two of them are 2-lane roads (I happen to live off of one of them). I-26 is being widened, so traffic there is screwed most of the time. The city and county also can't seem to say no to any new development, because they have to pay for their green inititiatives somehow.
I have to be here for family reasons at the moment. As soon as things change, I'm gone. Not sure where yet, but I will have options.
