Ohio is not compared with a town — compare two towns instead. Why?

Ohio, a state of the United States, is not the same kind of thing as a town: it spans many counties and very different places. Putting a state-wide average beside one town's own figures produces a number that looks like an answer and describes nothing a person would experience — so the engine refuses that pairing rather than rendering it thinly. A town against another town, here or abroad, is like-for-like. Build a comparison →

Medicare in Ohio

For the published example couple, both 67 and married: what Medicare premiums cost a year for two in Ohio, and the most a bad year can cost. What care itself costs depends on a person's health, so it is not estimated here.

Medicare Advantage, with drug coverage

USD $4,870 a year for two in premiums (from USD $4,870)

At most USD $17,030 in a bad year (from USD $13,770), with each person's in-network out-of-pocket maximum

The middle of the 45 plans offered here; "from" is the lowest premium among them.

Original Medicare, with a drug plan

USD $5,878 a year for two in premiums (from USD $4,997)

Medigap: no federal price list — not in this total.

No yearly maximum on Original Medicare alone.

Part B for two, plus the middle of the 9 standalone drug plans offered in the state.

The middle of Ohio's 88 counties, weighted by residents 65 or older (US Census Bureau, 1 July 2025).

The 2027 Part B premium is not yet published (CMS usually publishes it in November); 2026's is used.

Source: CMS, Medicare Advantage and Part D Landscape, plan year 2027; CMS, 2026 Medicare Parts A & B Premiums and Deductibles (fact sheet, 14 Nov 2025).

Retiring to Ohio: pros and cons, by the figures

Retiring to Ohio, judged on the six figures above: a pro is a figure in the top fifth of the states, a con one in the bottom fifth. Figures in between get no verdict.

Pros

Climate: more than 84% of the other 50 (5.1 months a year). CHELSA V2.1 monthly maximum temperature, 1981-2010 (~1 km), averaged over the county, Karger et al., weighted by each county's population 65+ (US Census Bureau, 1 July 2025)
Natural-hazard risk: lower than 88% of the other 50 (USD $0.89 per USD $1,000 of buildings). FEMA, National Risk Index v1.20 (December 2025), state expected annual loss to buildings (EAL_VALB)

Cons

Taxes on a retired couple: higher than 80% of the other 50 (USD $5,019). Each state's published 2025 income-tax rules and the Census ACS property-tax ratio, applied to the example household

Taxes on a retired couple in Ohio

We apply Ohio's published rules for tax year 2025 to one example household and show the sum, line by line. These are rules already in force for 2025, not a projection.

The example household

Filing status	married filing jointly, both aged 67
Social Security	USD $45,000 a year, combined
Private pension	USD $25,000 a year
IRA or 401(k) withdrawal	USD $20,000 a year
Home, for property tax	USD $350,000

An illustrative household, the same for every state so states can be compared. Each spouse holds half of each income. Your own figures will differ.

Federal income tax is left out: it is the same in every state, so it cannot separate them. Sales tax is left out too: it depends on what a household buys, and no state publishes an average of its local rates. The rate is listed below.
