Among the factors they considered were such quality-of-life issues as the number of museums, theaters, and music venues per capita and even the number of golf courses.

But probably even more important were such issues as the number of doctors, dentists, nurses, and health care facilities and the quality of water and air—along with the violent crime rate.

Here are the top 10 places where WalletHub says you'll get the most bang for your retirement buck.

10. Virginia

Fifteenth in affordability, 14^th in quality of life and 31^st in health care, Virginia's attractions nonetheless merited finishing in the top 10 in the country.

9. Nevada

Nevada emerged as the eighth most affordable state, while finishing 12^th in quality of life and a rather alarming 43^rd in health care.

But it won fifth place in WalletHub's taxpayer ranking.

If you love museums, though, beware; the state ranked 50^th in the country in the number of museums per capita.

Of course, unless the Liberace Museum was high on your list of retirement priorities, that may not matter.

8. Montana

Montana ranks 21^st in affordability, 22^nd in quality of life but 10^th in health care.

But before you worry unduly about that affordability placement, consider this: the state also ranked third on WalletHub's taxpayer ranking—something to remember if you just don't like paying taxes.

7. Texas

Ninth in affordability, Texas placed 16^th in quality of life and 40^th in health care.

Some seniors might want to keep that last in mind if health is a concern.

The state also has the dubious distinction of having the lowest percentage of its population aged 65 and older—something else to consider if you're looking for a strong community of contemporaries.

6. Idaho

Idaho ranked 10^th in affordability, 32^nd in quality of life and 29^th in health care.

But it came in with the fifth lowest adjusted cost of living in the country.

On the negative side, it has the fourth highest property crime rate in the country.

5. Colorado

Not a cheap place to live, Colorado; its affordability ranking is only 27.

But in quality of life, the state finished sixth, and in health care it came in at 11.

4. South Carolina

For South Carolina, it's all about affordability, at number 6.

Its quality of life ranking is 26, and its health care ranking is 34—not terrific, but not horrible.

The state also has the fourth lowest property crime rate in the country, another definite plus.

3. South Dakota

South Dakota tops the list for heath care, coming in at number 1.

Not so on affordability, although not so bad at 14, or on quality of life, at 29.

Still, those for whom high-quality health care is a top priority in retirement will no doubt take a closer look.

The state also ranked fifth in the country for the highest number of employed people aged 65 and older—probably good news, if you plan on working during retirement.

2. Wyoming

Wyoming nabbed the top spot in the country for affordability, although it didn't do quite as well on either quality of life—at 28—or health care, at 16.

But if you're on a tight budget and are healthy and resourceful, Wyoming might be the place for you to spend your senior years.

Interestingly, Wyoming also finished in the top 5 in WalletHub's "taxpayer" ranking, which evaluates how the states fare in taxing people's income. That no doubt contributed to its affordability.

1. Florida

Finishing in the top spot was retiree haven Florida, which combines an affordability rank of 2 with a quality of life rank of 3.

Surprisingly, considering how many seniors have already gravitated to the Sunshine State, in terms of health care it only ranked 15^th.
