I'll admit I was a bit surprised to see houses that cheap anywhere.
North and South Carolina have appeal to me. Flint is cheap for a reason. I suspect most of the towns are in the middle of nowhere where you have to drive a few miles to shop and for medical care.
Well, you can probably find houses just about free in parts of Detroit. But some of the Carolina and Tennessee towns would probably be livable, I'm guessing the houses are cheap because there are no jobs in the area. Which, if you are retired, probably does not matter. Although. These areas are poor so your neighbors will be poor, and a few of them desperate.
There wont' be Trader Joe's, nor Whole Foods, in these areas.
Well, yeah, it means the government services that are funded by real estate taxes will be poor or non-existent at least nearby. The upside of this is that government "looky-lous" will be thin on the ground, and probably won't be interested in bothering you, unless you are building up something seriously obnoxious.
If you are retired, probably the quality or lack of it in local schools does not matter much. Not having a "good enough" hospital nearby will matter more or less depending on how healthy you are.
I would be setting up with Life Flight or similar, pay that $50 annual membership, if I lived in an area like this, just in case.

They look pretty depressing. Probably either out in nowhere, or in bad economy areas. There wouldn't be good health care, probably, or decent competitive grocery stores and other shopping, car repair places.

Or a decent hospital if any and very limited medical care and horrible schools.

Princeville NC is 12th on the list. As you note no Traders Joe or Whole Foods. What you do have is the Tar River if you like scenic flooding. https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/we...ceville-nc-to-

The rising Tar River is forcing the evacuation of Princeville, North Carolina, a town destroyed in flooding from Hurricane Floyd 17 years ago.
Edgecombe County announced on its Facebook page that a curfew will go into effect at 7 p.m. Sunday and they are bringing in buses to help get out the town's 2,000 residents.
How could you not pass this up at this price. What a bargain.
