PHOENIX — Three Arizona cities are among the top destinations for U.S. retirees, according to a new report.

Finance website Magnify Money recently published a new study that analyzed inbound and outbound data for individuals age 65 and over who are out of the work force between 2016-2017.

Phoenix topped the list, attracting 19,550 new seniors while losing only 12,421 for a net influx of 7,129 retirees moving into the Valley, according to the study.

The data for the Magnify Money analysis comes from Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.
