Anaheim, California

As you work on your Retirement Planning, you may want to consider looking at Anaheim, California as a city to relocate to upon your retirement.

Anaheim is located in the SW part of California. It is about 38 miles SE of Los Angeles. Anaheim is a city of about 330,000 people.

The average high temperature in Anaheim is ideal, in my opinion. The bad news regarding the climate is the fact that Anaheim gets very little rain, only about 13" per year. The wettest months are January (2.47"), February (2.86") and March (2.55"). December (1.29") is the only other month that averages over 1" of rain per year.

The average high temperatures are as follows:

Jan 69
Feb 69
Mar 70
Apr 72
May 75
Jun 79
Jul 84
Aug 86
Sep 85
Oct 80
Nov 74
Dec 70

Some more facts about Anaheim are:

They average 280 sunny days per year.

60% Republicans
39% Democrats

47% White
36% Hispanic

27% Catholic
8% Protestant

The overall cost of living is rated at 137 based on 100 being average.

If you don't mind a slightly higher cost of living and a mild, dry climate then Anaheim, California should be a place to consider in your retirement plan.
