SeniorScores are compiled from such diverse quality of life issues as health and safety, accessibility and the overall cost of living. The national average SeniorScore is 71%.
While the Northridge area falls somewhat short of the national average, partly because of its relatively low senior population, the region scores well for seniors' health and safety issues.

Life expectancy in the Los Angeles area is more than 2 years higher than the national average, at 80.8 years.

Northridge and its surrounding communities fall well short of the national average SeniorScore for Finances and seniors' expenses. Contributing to the city's score of just 44% are the overall high cost of living and the unusually high sales and income taxes Northridge residents pay.
