Yes, but usually receive a discount for being seniors. That’s why I said low cost of living. Tennessee is nice.

And a lot of places freeze your property tax at 65, so you never have to pay more.

Most property tax is local not state. I don't have the percentage breakdown, but I have encountered this multiple times within my family (anecdotal I know). It's quite possible that this percent is not a majority.

Plus, your link is more like ~14/50 states if you're only considering lower income folks.
