For most active-duty military personnel, where to call home is a decision largely left up to their branch of service. Though troops' desires about where they'd like to be based are taken into account, the needs of the mission are paramount in determining where military employees are based.
When they decide to separate, for many veterans it will be first time they have to seriously consider where they'd like to live and work. That can be a daunting process, especially if they are looking for a city where costs are relatively low, and still offers plenty of employment opportunities.
With these considerations in mind as well as a dozen other criteria, including climate, number of veteran-owned businesses and military pension taxes, USAA and Military.com recently compiled a list of the 10 Best Places for Military Retirement, presented in the gallery below. The list has been updated to include more current unemployment rates for each city, based on June data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- <p> Manchester outshines many other places in the USAA/Military.com study with high scores for defense contract awards and an extremely low unemployment rate, though there may be fewer jobs in sectors related to military skills than other cities in the Top 10 ranking. There also are comparatively fewer small or veteran-owned businesses. However, this metro helps military retirees' wallets with no state tax on military retirement pay, very low or no sales tax, and affordable housing options. Military retirees also benefit from a local VA medical center and military base amenities are about a half-hour drive away.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Manchester, New Hampshire Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 402,100</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $229,000</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 5.4 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> No</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> 32 miles</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Engineering<br /> Defense<br /> Government</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Manchester? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/manchester/NH/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Manchester? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Manchester%2C+NH&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p> <div> </div>
- <p> Omaha offers many employment opportunities for military retirees seeking a second career. Many military contracts are awarded to businesses in Omaha, and former military men and women are likely to find a market that appreciates their skills. In addition, Omaha has the lowest unemployment rates on the list at 4.4 percent and scores high when it comes to affordability, though military pensions are taxed. Though Omaha has comparatively less access to a VA medical hospital and a harsher climate than many other cities, it earns top marks for local base amenities and for the number of veteran-owned businesses operating in the area.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Omaha, Nebraska Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 851,000</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $132,800</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 4.4 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> Local</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Government<br /> Defense<br /> Medical</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Omaha? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/omaha/NE/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Omaha? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Omaha%2C+NE&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p> <p> Photo: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kishka_king/7344881986/" target="_blank">Raymond Bucko, Flickr.com</a></p>
- <p> For those seeking pleasant weather to enjoy when not at work, Raleigh stands out for its temperate climate in addition to a very large number of jobs in industries relating to military skills. The area also received top marks for affordability, though there is some taxation on military retirement pay. Raleigh retirees have access to quality base amenities with relatively short drive and a nearby VA medical center. While the area has a lot to offer the military retiree, Raleigh does have a slightly higher unemployment rate when compared to other places on the list and ranks near average for the number of small businesses and veteran-owned businesses operating in the area.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Raleigh, North Carolina Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 1,144,300</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $177,600</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 8 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> Partly</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> 46 miles</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Engineering<br /> Aviation<br /> Protective/Emergency Services</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Raleigh? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/Raleigh/NC/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Raleigh? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Raleigh%2C+NC&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p> <p> Photo: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncdot/6680749579/">NCDOTcommunications, Flickr.com</a></p>
- <p> The City of Brotherly Love stood out in the overall Top 10 list for federal employment, defense contract awards and military skill jobs, making it a haven for military retirees who want a civilian job even though the unemployment rate is higher than other places. The area also offers military retirees local access to a VA medical center and a nearby military base for commissary and post exchange amenities. While the area boasts zero state tax on military retirement pay, Philadelphia is generally less affordable than many of the other top places and offers fewer opportunities for the aspiring small business owner given its lower scores in the small business and veteran-owned business categories.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 3,949,400</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $205,200</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 8.9 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> No</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> Local</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Government<br /> Defense<br /> Medical</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Philadelphia? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/philadelphia/PA/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Philadelphia? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Philadelphia%2C+PA&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p> <p> Photo: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cptspock/616461319/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Jasen Miller, Flickr</a></p>
- <p> Madison's rank on the overall Top 10 list can be partly attributed to its low unemployment rate and overall affordability with low sales tax, lack of state tax on military retirement pay and lower housing costs. The area scored much better than average for the number of federal jobs, as well as having an economy that includes a large number of jobs requiring skills former military men and women can provide. Madison also has a local VA medical center, though the closest military base is an hour and a half away. Relative to many of the other Top 10 places, Madison has a harsher climate in terms of weather and small business opportunities.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Madison, Wisconsin Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 564,100</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $223,500</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 5.5 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> No</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> 91 miles</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Government<br /> Engineering<br /> Medical</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Madison? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/madison/WI/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Madison? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Madison%2C+WI&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p>
- <p> Also known as "Military City, U.S.A.," this large Texas metro stands out as a great place for military retirees to begin their second careers in a warm climate. Though the San Antonio metro area has relatively fewer federal jobs than Austin, it scores even higher for defense contract awards and jobs that are a good fit for military skills. Living up to its nickname, San Antonio boasts high-quality military base amenities and offers a local VA hospital. The area also has solid affordability scores and helps military retirees' pay go farther because of no state tax on their military retirement pay, despite the relatively higher sales tax.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="San Antonio, Texas Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 2,091,800</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $151,000</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 7.3 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> No</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> Local</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Defense<br /> Government<br /> Aviation</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in San Antonio? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/san+antonio/TX/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in San Antonio? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=San+Antonio%2C+TX&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p>
- <p> Located in the heart of Texas, Austin boasts very high scores for federal employment, defense-contract awards and military skill-based jobs, though the area has lower rates of small and veteran-owned businesses. Even with a higher-than-average sales tax rate compared to other places on the list, the Austin area still ranks as one of the more affordable due to accessible housing and no state tax on military retirement pay. Military retirees can access high-quality military base amenities within about an hour's drive, though the area does not have a VA medical facility. Residents also can enjoy the recreational, cultural and educational benefits of the University of Texas and typically warm weather for much of the year.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Austin, Texas Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 1,708,100</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $189,600</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 6.4 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> No</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> 57 miles</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Engineering<br /> Government<br /> Defense</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Austin? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/austin/TX/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Austin? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Austin%2C+TX&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p>
- <p> Richmond's No. 3 spot on the list can be attributed to its high scores for federal employment opportunities and a substantial number of military skill-based jobs, in addition to a significant number of defense contractors. Military retirees also have access to a local VA medical center and military base amenities that are top-notch. As an added bonus, Richmond boasts a low sales tax, which helps retirees make their dollars go further. The state, however, does tax military pensions. Keeping Richmond just shy of the top spot on our list is its relatively low score in our small business category, meaning that it may be more difficult for retirees to start their own small business.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Richmond, Virginia Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 1,243,400</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $195,400</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 6.6 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> 21 miles</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Government<br /> Defense<br /> Protective/Emergency Services<span id="cke_bm_290E" style="display: none;"> </span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Richmond? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/richmond/VA/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Richmond? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Richmond%2C+VA&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p> <p> Photo: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewbain/1569514549/sizes/o/in/photostream/" target="_blank">Taber Andrew Bain, Flickr.com</a></p>
- <p> The Norfolk area boasts high scores in all of the military-specific employment categories. This area has a large number of federal jobs as well as a high number of employment opportunities in other industries seeking military skills. The Norfolk area also stands out for a significant number of defense contract awards. Military retirees can enjoy local access to quality base amenities and a VA hospital. The relatively milder climate and affordable housing options also make Norfolk an attractive place to live and work. Compared to other top places in our study, however, the area has a slightly higher unemployment rate and does tax military pensions.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Norfolk, Virginia Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 1,672,800</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $204,700</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 6.7 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> Local</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Defense<br /> Engineering<br /> Aviation</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Norfolk? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/norfolk/VA/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Norfolk? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Norfolk%2C+VA&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p>
- <p> Oklahoma City excelled in numerous categories to earn its top spot on the list. The area is home to a high number of jobs that require skill-sets learned in the military and boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country at only 5 percent. Oklahoma City also is home to a large number of veteran-owned businesses and numerous federal jobs. In addition, many companies in the area recently have been awarded large defense contracts. Military retirees can take advantage of the excellent amenities offered at the four military bases in the Oklahoma City area, along with a local VA medical center. While the area offers affordable living and housing, one drawback is that the state of Oklahoma does tax military pensions.</p> <br /> <table cellspacing="0" class="v10" style="text-align: left;" summary="Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Statistics Table" width="100%"> <thead> <tr> <th class="span-12" scope="col"> Category</th> <th scope="col"> Metro Statistics</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Population</td> <td> 1,228,100</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Median Home Price</td> <td> $119,000</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Unemployment Rate</td> <td> 5 percent</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Federal Pension Taxed</td> <td> Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Military Base Proximity</td> <td> Local</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="dataLabel" scope="row"> Primary Job Sectors<br /> <span class="textSmall">(In order of importance)</span></td> <td class="span-18 fl"> <p> Government<br /> Medical<br /> Aviation</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <em>Looking for a job in Oklahoma City? <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/oklahoma+city/OK/?siteid=cbaol95gal" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></em>.</p> <p> <i>Looking for an apartment in Oklahoma City? <a href="http://realestate.aol.com/blog/rental-listings?svar_SEARCHEVENT=yes&category=rentals&loc=Oklahoma+City%2C+OK&minPrice=&maxPrice=&bedrooms=all&bathrooms=all" target="_blank">Click here to get started</a></i>.</p> <br /> <p> Source: <a href="https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/enterprise_retirement_best_places_landing" target="_blank">USAA and Military.com</a></p>
