The cost of living in Delaware is about 8 points higher than the national average. Groceries, transportation, and miscellaneous costs are the big reasons this state can be expensive. However, the cost of housing is about 7 points less than the average, and the median home cost is less. Despite its low housing, rent costs are more than the average, so that's something to consider if you don't want to buy a home. In any state, the living costs can be determined by where in the state you're considering moving. So with careful research, you could have an affordable retirement.
