North Carolina is one the top states for retirement and active adult retirement communities. This fast growing state of 9.7 million people (2012) offers plenty of outdoor activities, hundreds of best places to retire. The Blue Ridge Mountains in the western part of the state offers unparallel scenery and recreation. Many new residents are people from the Northeast who moved to Florida only to become disillusioned, who then move half-way back north to the Carolinas. In a 2010 poll North and South Carolina became the most popular places to retire among baby boomers, beating out the traditional leaders, Arizona and Florida. 
Ed Rosenberg, the director of the gerontology graduate program at Appalachian State University, predicts that the aging mountain population will more than double in the coming decades, and in twenty-five years, the gathered figures indicate a 150% increase.
