Living in Washington, D.C. isn't as appealing as it once was for retirees. A new ranking of U.S. cities carried out by U.S. News and World Report shows that The District has dropped 22 spaces on the list of best places to retire.

D.C. ranked at number 12 on the 2019 list and is now 34 on the 2020 list, according to WTOP. 

And it turns out the high cost of housing may be a huge determining factor. “The biggest drawback of retirement in the D.C. metro area is the high cost of living,” Emily Brandon, U.S. News’ chief editor for retirement said.

The top three places to retire include Fort Myers, Florida Sarasota, Florida and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
