No teeth in Arkansas... Mexico is a good place to get killed, theres a reason 50,000 young folks have fled Central America to the US.
I think a blue state with high income taxes like MA would be a good choice for a retiree since your income is low so would your tax burden. Move someplace semi-rural like I do but I'm still close to a good hospital, have access to some services etc. NH would be a lousy choice financially, no income tax but they make up for it in property tax.

Are we talking Republican as red and Democrat as Blue? or am I backwards on that? I would think that the more socialist the government, then the better it is for the poor. If one is a poor senior then one might be better off if the government provides more services even if the tax rates are higher etc. How about someplace like Arkansas? Not too far north so the winters are not too bad. Not too far south so the summers should not be too bad. Lots of poor folks so you won't have to keep up with the neighbors. Your 50 year old rusty MB will fit right in. Or you could turn the tables on them and sneak into Mexico. Supposed to be cheap to live there.
