The city has a relatively small senior population, but the area is packed with recreational amenities, including three movie theaters, six parks, 20 churches and more than 50 grocery stores and shopping centers. Finances received 62 points based on the area's affordable property taxes and the lack of state income tax. Although residents earn less than the U.S. median, some forms of long-term care are more expensive than average despite the low cost of living.
