“Yours was one of several sites
that I looked at when I was
trying to figure the best place to
retire. I liked the capsule description
of the states.”

Senior Life in Minnesota
Minnesota residents over the age of 65 make up 12.2% of the total population. This is just slightly lower than the 12.4% average for the US. There are over 628,000 seniors living in Minnesota. This number will most certainly rise in the coming years, as well as the need for assisted living and long term care in Minnesota.
Economy:
Minnesota is the sixth biggest agriculture state in the country by value produced. It is a major producer of beets, corn, peas, and lumber—including paper products. It is no longer the mining power it once was, but a strong corporate presence has more than made up for the loss. General Mills, 3M, Hormel, Target, Best Buy and United Health Group are all based out of Minnesota. Citizens of the state are relatively well-off compared to other states; per capita income is $42,772 which ranks 10th in the nation.
Noteworthy:
Minnesota is one of the healthiest states in the country. A higher percentage of its citizens exercise regularly than any state in the country and it has the second highest life expectancy. Minnesota is home to the Mayo Clinic, considered one of the top medical centers in the world. |
