Many senior citizens retire to Florida, making it a high percentage of residents over 65.

Pennsylvania, because the state gives away so many freebies, discounts, and rebates to them when the money should be appropriated to education instead.

It depends on how you define "largest" - if you mean overall numbers, it's PROBABLY California, but only by a little bit. If you mean "as a percentage of its total population", it's probably Florida. Both those states have a very large number of 'retirees', and it would depend on who you believe when they publicize their numbers. And remember, too, not everyone over the age of 65 is a 'retiree' either, so that can make the numbers change around, too.
