Austin and Round Rock are earning new acclaim on U.S. News and World Report's just-released list of the best U.S. cities for retirees in 2027.
The 2027 Best Places to Retire list evaluated over 850 U.S. cities based on six livability metrics that best serve American retirees: quality of life, affordability, health care, retiree taxes, job market, and population and migration. The top 250 finalist cities were then ranked nationally and by city size.
Midland, Michigan, topped the list for the second consecutive year and is followed by Homosassa Springs, Florida (No. 2), and Weirton, West Virginia (No. 3).
Austin ranked as the 14th best large U.S. city to retire for 2027, while neighboring Round Rock ranked 19th nationally among the smallest U.S. cities. In the overall list of best cities for retirees, Round Rock ranked 60th.
