Anchorage, Alaska, provides retirees with the best of both worlds — up-and-personal access to stunning natural beauty and a city with modern amenities. Active seniors enjoy walking the Tony Knowles Trail, dropping a line in Fish Creek, and even taking a snowmachine for a spin during winter. When indoor activities are on the agenda, a visit to the Anchorage Museum delves deeply into the rich history of the 49th state, and with three live theaters, there's always something playing at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts.
There are approximately 256 assisted living facilities within the Anchorage city limits. The average cost per month is $6,000, which is $1,949 higher than the national average of $4,051. Alaska's lack of state income tax and yearly permanent fund dividend help offset the higher cost of assisted living.
The SeniorScore is calculated using compiled data from 100 variables relevant to senior living. Anchorage has a SeniorScore of 68, which is four points lower than the national average of 72 but substantially higher than the average for the rest of the state of Alaska, which is 53. Anchorage scored highest in Finance with a score of 64 with Health and Safety coming in a close second at 62.
Even though Alaska has a reputation for having a high cost of living, there are several aspects of Anchorage that help keep costs down for seniors. For instance, the sales tax levied by the city of Anchorage is 3.75% compared to the nationwide average of 6.97%, and there is no state sales tax. Alaska also exempts all senior citizens from property tax for the first $150,000 of assessed value and with a rate of 0.88% of overall property value, Anchorage property taxes are significantly lower than the national average of 1.09%.
Anchorage has a high number of Medicare-registered doctors practicing within its city limits. It also has eight hospitals, including Alaska Native Medical Center, Alaska Regional Hospital and Alaska Psychiatric Hospital.
Anchorage scored lowest in Recreation and Leisure with a score of 57. Nonetheless, there are six golf courses in Anchorage and 32 public parks situated near the city center. It's also the only city in the country with a salmon creek running right through its downtown area, and seniors and other fishing enthusiasts spend many happy hours catching their quotas on the banks of Ship Creek.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
The Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2019 notes that the average cost of assisted living in Anchorage is $6,000 per month, substantially higher than the national average of $4,051. However, it's on par with the overall average assisted living cost in Alaska, which is also $6,000 per month.
While Alaska is huge, it has the lowest population density of any U.S. state. This means that assisted living comparisons within the state are fairly limited, with Fairbanks being the only other major population center surveyed with assisted living averages amounting to $6,938 per month. Looking at the northern states in the nation, Boise, Idaho, is one of Anchorage's lowest-priced neighbors at $3,952. Portland, Oregon, comes in next at $4,998, while Seattle is substantially pricier than Anchorage at $6,500.
