美国最适宜度假养老的地方

Tucson is Tops

图森位居榜首

Had you been planning on a comfortable retirement until the economic downturn scrambled your nest egg? Do you think that you won't be able to find that cozy retirement home on the beach or golf course that you had once had your heart set on? Well, it might not be as bad as all that. With home prices falling in some of Americas best retirement home destinations, this is a great time to find deals. But you need to know where to look.

经济衰退抢夺了你的养老金。在此之前，你是否一直为过上舒适的退休生活做着准备？你是否以为自己找不到曾经倾心向往的位于海滨或高尔夫球场旁的养老院？嗯，也许事情并未糟糕到那种程度。随着美国一些最佳养老院所在地房价降低，这正是实现梦想的最佳时机。而你要知道到哪里去找。

Working with Cyberhomes.com, an Irvine (Calif.) home valuations and listings Web site owned by Lender Processing Services (LPS), BusinessWeek.com came up with some places to consider. We looked at Zip Codes with heavy concentrations of affluent seniors (or residents nearing retirement age) because we figured these would be beautiful, fun, and convenient. We then heavily factored in cost of living and—to a lesser extent—sunny days, home price projections, and proximity to hospitals, golf courses, and other amenities. To see the list, read on.

BusinessWeek.com和Cyberhomes.com（加州欧文贷款机构处理服务公司房屋评估及排行网站）两家网站合作推出供你参考的一些地方。我们着眼于富裕老人（或接近退休年龄的居民）最关注的邮政区域，因为我们认为这里会是漂亮、有趣而便利的地方。此外，我们纳入了主要的生活费用因素——在较小的范围内——晴天、房价预测以及邻近医院、高尔夫球场和其它便利设施。要查阅该列表，请往下看。

Methodology: The Zip Codes were ranked based primarily on the concentration of affluent retirees (and people nearing retirement age) as well as relative cost of living. But sunny days, the home price forecast for 2010, and the number of nearby amenities including golf courses, hospitals, theaters, museums, religious institutions, shopping centers, and airports, were also factored in. The 2010 housing forecast is Cyberhomes ' projected home price change from Jan.1, 2010 to Dec. 31. 2010. The cost of living index compares cost of living among Zips with "100" being average, 200 being twice the average, and 50 being half the average and so on. Only Zips where the cost of living index was between 100 and 200 were considered. Cost of living was also heavily weighted in the final ranking of Zips.

方法：邮政编码排名主要依据富裕退休人员（及接近退休年龄人员）的密度以及相对的生活费用。同时还纳入了晴天和2010年的房价预测以及附近的许多便利设施，其中包括医院、剧场、博物馆、宗教机构、购物中心和机场。2010年的房价预测是Cyberhomes网站预估的房价变化（自2010年1月1日至2010年12月31日）。生活费指数指各邮政区域间生活费用的对照，100为平均数，200指平均数的两倍，50为平均数的一半，以此类推。我们只考虑生活费指数在100和200之间的邮政区域。生活费在邮政区域最终排名中也起了非常重要的作用。
