Young Boomers Prefer North Carolina for Retirement
Of baby boomers born between 1956 and 1964 who plan to move to another state after retirement, the top intended destination is North Carolina, according to a Harris Interactive Study (Polte Homes - Baby Boomer 2005). 14% of those surveyed said they planned to move to NC, beating out Florida, Arizona and California.
Based on my observations, the areas in North Carolina that seem to be most popular as retirement destinations are Chapel Hill and Pittsboro, Hendersonville, Wilmington, Brunswick County, and Moore County.
