10 Great Places to Retire for Democrats and Republicans
If you find yourself wanting to steal that McCain-Palin or Obama-Biden sign on your neighbor's lawn, you might want to factor that feeling in when you think about where you want to retire. More and more people are. Fact is, most retirees say they would like to live in a place where they fit in with the culture, and lifestyle choices increasingly tend to vary according to political party lines.
More from USNews.com: • Photos: Best Political Places to Retire • Why Democrats and Republicans Live Where They Do • Best Places to Retire
Americans have been sorting themselves into these like-minded groups for three decades. Bill Bishop, coauthor of The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart, and Robert Cushing, a retired sociology professor, found that 48 percent of voters lived in communities where the presidential election wasn't close at all in 2004, up from 39 percent in 1992. "It's not about single-payer healthcare and Iran. It's not policy," says Bishop. "It's people who have the same kind of way of life, people who think alike."
To pick 10 great retirement spots where Republicans and Democrats would feel right at home, U.S. News tapped our list of over 2,000 Best Places to Retire and sought out places in congressional districts that leaned heavily toward one political party in the past two presidential elections. (You can use our search tool to build a list of retirement spots based on your personal preferences, including recreational and cultural activities, healthcare, region, and climate.) "For most people, politics isn't at the center of their lives," says Diana Mutz, a political science and communication professor at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Hearing the Other Side: Deliberative Versus Participatory Democracy. "If you choose a community based on the availability of certain types of schools or amenities, that's going to attract other people with similar types of viewpoints."
There's nothing quite like the warm bath of expressing your political views in public and knowing they are whole-heartedly embraced by the majority of your neighbors. "Pretty much when you meet people you can assume they are on the same political wavelength that you are," Ashleigh Evans, 69, a retired actress and regional director for Oracle Resource Services, says about San Mateo, Calif. "If a plumber comes to the house, you can pretty much assume he is a Democrat and feels the same way about most things that I do."
Evans is now the secretary and a past chair of an approximately 70-member political club called San Mateo County Democracy for America. Members meet at least once a month to increase voter registration, write letters to the editor, and send E-mails and make phone calls to potential voters. They hold occasional protests, especially against the Iraq war. But those in the political minority may find San Mateo less hospitable. "Here Republicans might keep their views to themselves because they might not feel as comfortable talking about politics," says Evans.
The situation is reversed in Republican-majority communities. "We want to make sure that our community remains Republican," says Sharon Dale, 65, a retiree who is president of the Fort Worth (Texas) Republican Women's Club, an approximately 220-member group that meets once a month to support Republican candidates for office and work on charity projects, especially for American troops. "Even people who are not involved in campaigns are still conservative and share our way of thinking," Dale says about Fort Worth. And the desire to be part of a like-minded community isn't just confined to the two major parties. Ron Paul supporters have recently begun to establisha community, Paulville, in western Texas made up exclusively of those who share Paul's libertarian views.
It doesn't hurt when a retirement haven combines small-town charms with proximity to a world-class city. Democratic Maplewood, N.J., offers quaint neighborhoods, a walkable downtown, and nearby hiking in the 2,047-acre South Mountain Reservation, but it's just 20 miles from New York City. Retirees in the Republican stronghold of Hoover, Ala., can enjoy nine golf courses, the 250-acre Moss Rock Preserve, stimulating the economy at the more than 200 stores at the massive Riverchase Galleria shopping center, and a senior center that serves lunch daily to those over 60 for a suggested donation of $1. And Hoover is within 10 miles of Birmingham.
Anyone who's ever been the only Democrat or Republican in the room can probably recall the icy social isolation of peers who just don't understand your cherished and cultivated values. "People test the waters and find out who they have politically agreeable and disagreeable views with, and, if they are disagreeable, they avoid conversations with those people," says Mutz. Or you can fill the ideological space between you with small talk. "If you do find yourself in a divided community, you talk about your grandkids and investments," says Morris Fiorina, a Stanford University political science professor and author of Culture War: The Myth of a Polarized America. Fiorina says most Americans are moderate and don't have extreme liberal or conservative views.
Many retirees say they are able to find common ground with friends and neighbors in both parties. Big cities, like heavily Democratic Chicago and majority Republican Cincinnati, are sure to offer enough entertainment, culture, recreation, and education opportunities to allow any retiree with a taste for city life to find a niche. Smaller college towns like strongly Republican Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Democratic stronghold Dearborn, Mich., both offer major museums and ample opportunities for outdoor activities."If the people are nice, it doesn't matter whether they are Democrats or Republicans or uncommitted voters, but if they want to vote Democratic, I appreciate that," says Sophie Bock, 83, a retired bookkeeper and president of the Democratic club at her gated retirement community in Pembroke Pines, Fla., a town located in one of the hotly contested counties during the fateful Bush versus Gore attempted recount.
Frank Guliuzza, 51, a professor of political science and philosophy at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, and the adviser to the college Republican student group, cultivates friendships in both parties. "I think the student body on the university campus is probably more conservative than you would find at a lot of communities, but I am in a university community where I would guess that, by far, the majority of people are Democrats," he says. Perhaps the three downhill ski areas, extensive trail system, minor league baseball team, and historic business district with mountain views offer enough distraction from party differences. Guliuzza is planning to stay in Ogden when he retires.
Of course, if you'd like to whittle away your retirement engaged in heated debate, you just might want to try retiring in the opposite party's haven. Just throw up an Obama sign in red country or vice versa and let the arguments begin. "There is a tiny portion of the population that likes a good fight, but for most people it's uncomfortable," cautions Mutz. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
Here are 10 great retirement spots that have skewed heavily Democratic or Republican in the past two presidential elections.
Democratic:
Chicago, Ill.
Dearborn, Mich.
Maplewood, N.J.
Pembroke Pines, Fla.
San Mateo, Calif.
Republican:
Cincinnati, Ohio

Consumers' mood posts record drop
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Consumer confidence suffered its steepest monthly drop on record in October, a survey showed on Friday, as the worst financial crisis in generations continued to take its toll.
The Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers said its final reading of its index of confidence plunged to 57.6 in October from 70.3 in September.
That was just slightly below economists' expectations for a reading of 57.8, according to the median of their forecasts in a Reuters poll. It was up marginally from 57.5 recorded in the Surveys' of Consumers preliminary report released on October 17.
"Consumers reported the most dismal assessments of their current financial situation ever recorded," the report said.
The index was its lowest since a reading of 56.4 in June of this year.
The report said there have previously only been four surveys that posted double-digit declines, "and all resulted from severe economic dislocations, with the losses accelerated by fear and panic."
The University of Michigan confidence index dates back to 1952. Its record low was 51.7, which it hit in May 1980.
Consumers rated current economic conditions the worst on record, with this gauge falling to 58.4 from September's 75.0.
The gauge of one-year inflation expectations eased to 3.9 percent from September's 4.3 percent.
Five-year inflation expectations eased to 2.9 percent from 3.0 percent in September.
The outlook for the future was dire, with the index of consumer expectations falling to its lowest since July this year, when soaring energy prices were still hitting sentiment.

Worst Month Since 1987: Investors Say Good Riddance to October
Related: ^dji, ^gspc, ^ixic, SPY, DIA, AXP, QQQQ
A big rally this week has salved something for the bulls, but October 2008 is going to go down as one of the worst months in financial market history.
Heading into Friday, the Dow was down 15.4% for the month, on track for the 11th-worst in its history and the worst month since 1987. (Earlier this week the Dow and S&P were on track for the worst month since 1931 so "worst in 21 years" doesn't seem as awful.)
October was the worst-ever month for Japan's Nikkei, despite this week being its best week ever.
The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of commodities plunged 24% this month, the steepest decline since 1956. Crude is on track for a record monthly drop, copper its biggest retreat in two decades and gold its worst performance in 25 years, Bloomberg reports.
Even as the markets seemed to find some footing this week, the economic hits keep on coming, which is why San Francisco Fed President Janet Yellen used such stark language yesterday.
Thursday's Q3 GDP report, while better than feared, was the weakest since 2001 and featured the first drop in consumer spending since 1991 and the biggest since 1980.
Friday's personal spending data showed a 0.3% decline in September, the biggest drop in four years.
In October, the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index fell to its lowest level since 2001.
Friday's U. of Michigan consumer confidence survey was the weakest on record, confirming the Conference Board's earlier report.
At the same time the economy is slowing, consumers are reigning in spending as they worry about job security. Getting out from under a mountain of debt is certainly good for individuals. But from a societal perspective in a consumer-fueled economy it raises what economists call "the Paradox of thrift."
Asia stock markets mixed, Nikkei slides
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- Asian markets were mixed Friday as Japanese stocks fell despite the first rate cut in seven years while Indian shares soared to catch up with the global market rally after a holiday there.
Investors were also digesting data overnight that confirmed the U.S. economy -- a major export market -- had contracted in the third quarter.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index sank 5 percent to 8,576.98 despite the Bank of Japan's decision to lower its key rate from 0.5 percent to 0.3 percent. Analysts said some investors viewed the measure as half-hearted and wanted a full quarter-point cut.
South Korea's market extended the previous session's 12 percent rally with the Korea Composite Stock Price Index up 2.8 percent at 1,113.29. Australia's key index climbed out of negative territory to close 0.4 percent higher.
"Clients are a little more willing to re-enter the markets as the sense of panic has subsided a bit and valuations have been hammered to ridiculous levels," said Andrew Yates, vice president of foreign institutional sales at Asia Plus Securities in Bangkok.
"Obviously further volatility is likely but funds are picking up stocks at cheap levels for end of month rebalancing of portfolios," he said.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 1.5 percent at 14116.75 after vaulting 12.8 percent Thursday but smaller Asian markets such as the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand posted gains of 3 percent or more while Jakarta's main index surged 7.1 percent.
In India, the benchmark Sensex index surged 7.3 percent to 9,693.43 as traders caught up with Thursday's rally in Asian markets, when investors cheered a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut and further central bank steps to boost dollar liquidity in emerging markets.
Japanese stocks were modestly lower for much of the day after jumping nearly 10 percent Thursday on expectations of a rate cut by the central bank.
But when the Bank of Japan announced the cut -- first since March 2001 -- the market fell sharply. With interest rates in Japan already the lowest in the developed world, many analysts doubt looser monetary policy will do much to stimulate the world's second largest economy.
The Bank of Japan's policy board were split 4-4, so Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa, who has the final say in the event of a tie, voted in favor of the cut.
The bank warned that "adjustments in the world economy stemming from financial crises in the United States and Europe have further increased in severity."
Honda Motor Co. fell 13 percent to 2523 yen, Mitsubishi UFJ Finance was down 5.4 percent at 598 yen and Sony Corp. was down 2.2 percent at 2280 yen.
U.S. data overnight confirmed the world's largest economy contracted in the July-September quarter by an annual pace of 0.3 percent, marking the worst showing since it contracted at a 1.4 percent pace in the third quarter of 2001.
"The U.S. economy obviously contracted a lot more than the data says and it is likely to be revised lower. There are clear signs the contraction accelerated from September onward so the fourth quarter will also be weak," said Yates.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 189.73, or 2.11 percent, to 9,180.69. The S&P 500 index rose 24.00, or 2.58 percent, to 954.09.
U.S. stock index futures were lower, suggesting Wall Street would pull back Friday.
Confirmation the American economy is on the ropes sent oil below $65 a barrel in Asian trade with light, sweet crude for December delivery down $1.71 to $64.25 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midday Friday in Singapore.
Beaten down, American consumers burrow deeper
American consumers clobbered by housing, credit and financial fallout
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Beaten down and watching their wealth shrink, Americans are burrowing ever deeper -- cutting back on spending and spelling more trouble for the sinking economy.
One of the biggest problems saddling the country is damage from the housing market's collapse. Mounting foreclosures, falling home prices and soured mortgage investments are taking their toll on both individuals and businesses alike.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is scheduled to speak via satellite Friday at a Berkeley, Calif., conference on the mortgage meltdown, is likely to call on government officials and lawmakers to keep working on ways to provide more relief.
The Bush administration is considering a plan that would help around 3 million struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure by having the government guarantee billions of dollars worth of distressed mortgages. The plan also could include loan modifications that would lower interest rates for a five-year period.
Fallout from the housing meltdown has spurred the worst global credit and financial crisis in more than a half century. To combat the problems, the government has taken a flurry of bold steps. The Treasury Department is pouring $250 billion into banks in return for partial ownership and the Fed this week started buying mounds of debt from companies. It also slashed interest rates to 1 percent, a level seen only once before in the last half century.
A new batch of economic reports out Friday is likely to offer fresh confirmation of the stresses weighing on American consumers. Income growth is expected to barely budge in September, inching up just 0.1 percent, according to economists' estimates. Consumers probably trimmed their spending during the month by 0.3 percent, economists predict.
And, given the weak jobs market, employers aren't expected to be overly generous with compensation to their employees. Workers' wages and benefit costs are expected to rise 0.7 percent during the third quarter, economists are forecasting. If that happens, it would mark the same size increase from the previous quarter.
All in all, the economy as a whole contracted at a 0.3 percent pace in the July-to-September quarter, reflecting a sharp pull-back by consumers. They ratcheted back spending by the largest amount in nearly three decades, the government reported Thursday. Consumers' disposable income took its biggest drop on records dating back to 1947. Retailers are bracing for a grim holiday buying season.
Economists say tougher times are still ahead. Believing consumers are cutting back even more right now, they predict a much larger economic decline -- anywhere from a 1 to 2 percent rate -- during the current October-December period. That would meet a classic definition of a recession -- two straight quarters of shrinking GDP.
The grim news comes just days before the nation picks the next president. Either Democrat Barack Obama or Republican John McCain will inherit a deeply troubled economy and a record-high budget deficit that could cramp spending plans.
"I think it's very, very important not to hold out the prospect of silver bullets that will correct these crises," Lawrence Summers, a Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, said in Boston on Thursday.
"One of the difficulties has been there's been a succession of silver bullets that turned out to be hollow," he said. "So I think one just has to be really careful and sober about recognizing there are very serious risks in the situation ... and that the process of improvement will take time."
