Average annual benefit: $16,431

In the Magnolia State, 416,530 retirees averaged $1,369.26 monthly. Benefits, retirement income, estates, and inheritances are not taxable. Property taxes are very low, made even lower by homestead exemptions.

Therefore, Mississippi very tax-friendly for retirees. Taxes are a high consideration for seniors on Social Security. Benefits account for at least 90% of income for nearly half of unmarried and about 1 in 5 married seniors.
