Overview of South Dakota Independent Living
Residents of South Dakota independent living communities benefit from the state’s robust economy and low tax rate. Since 2005, South Dakota has had the lowest total tax rate in the nation, making it economically wise for retirees. A low sales tax of only 4% means goods and services remain within reach for most fixed incomes. Most independent living communities are found near the state’s health facilities so that seniors have access to most modern medical services. Winters are cold and long, so those considering retiring to the state need to be prepared for lots of time spent indoors during the cold and wintery months. Groups like the VFW, Lion’s Club and Masons provide many opportunities for seniors to socialize during long winters.
