Mapped: Where Americans Receive Social Security, by State
Key Takeaways
States with older populations (Maine, West Virginia) naturally have a higher share of Social Security recipients and vice-versa (Utah, Texas, Alaska).
A notable exception is Florida as it's a major retirement destination, and has the second-highest share of seniors in the population, but is 15th by social security share.
