According to the 2020 census, Hibbing's seniors make up around 18.4% of its 16,214 residents — which is almost two percentage points above the national average. The city's appeal to seniors may include wide streets not clogged by traffic, low-cost transportation and historical attractions. There are also many courses in the surrounding area for golfers of all skill levels.

Despite its small size and rural location, Hibbing boasts around 30 assisted living facilities. They provide comfortable homes for seniors who may need help with some daily living chores, such as making meals and managing their medications. According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the average monthly assisted living fee in the city is $3,221, which is much lower than the state average of $4,283 and the national median of $4,300.

The SeniorScore for Hibbing, MN

Hibbing achieved a SeniorScore of 67, which is three points below the average for Minnesota and five below the national average. The score reflects the city's possible appeal to seniors, with the total figure representing individual scores pulled from more than 100 data points in four categories deemed vital for good living. Each category receives an individual score, too, with Recreation & Leisure performing best with 64 followed by General Quality of Life with 62, Health & Safety with 59 and Finances with 54.

Points were awarded for the city's above-average number of seniors because this suggests Hibbing holds more appeal for them than the average U.S. city. Other points came from the number of churches in relation to the population — 12 in all — and grocery stores, of which there are nine. There are also four parks in the area, providing seniors with safe and pleasant places to relax and exercise in natural surroundings. Although the climate isn't as senior-friendly as it is in other places — January often sees temperatures drop to -4 degrees — the rural location does enjoy air and water quality that are significantly better than the U.S. averages. The sparse population also helps seniors avoid the stresses of busier places, such as traffic jams and excessive noise.

Fairview Range Medical Center is the primary source of health care in Hibbing. Although too small to compete with the larger facilities in Duluth, it has gained 4/5 for patient satisfaction. One of Hibbing's greatest attractions is the cost of living, which averages much lower than the state and national averages, particularly for transportation and health care costs.

Assisted Living Costs in Hibbing, MN

The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey merges the assisted living costs of Hibbing and Duluth, as the cities are only 80 minutes from each other, resulting in an average monthly cost of $3,221. At $4,283 and $4,300, respectively, the average fees for the state and the country are significantly higher. Consequently, Hibbing's seniors save more than $12,000 per year on assisted living costs when compared to the typical Minnesotan and American.

Although Hibbing's average assisted living fees are among the most attractive in the state, they're not the lowest. Seniors in St. Cloud expect fees to be more in the region of $2,723 per month, while closer to Minnesota's southern border, assisted living in Rochester typically costs around $3,105. However, there are less affordable cities too, such as Minneapolis, where seniors should budget for fees in the region of $4,797, and Mankato, at $4,968. Generally speaking, crossing into neighboring states doesn't offer a financial inducement. For example, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the average fee is $4,000 per month, and in Fargo, North Dakota, it's $4,623 — although Fargo's nearest surveyed neighbor, Grand Forks, does have significantly lower assisted living fees of $2,600 per month.
