The SeniorScore for Overland Park, Kansas



The SeniorScore is a livability index that analyzes more than 100 variables across four key categories to help older adults judge the quality of senior living in a given city. Overland Park has an impressive SeniorScore of 85, which is 13 points higher than the nationwide average of 72. The community received its highest score, an 83, in the Health & Safety category.

There are numerous reasons for Overland Park's excellent Health & Safety score, including its low property and violent crime rates and high number of Medicare-registered physicians. Additionally, there are 24 hospitals and almost 700 pharmacies within close range of the city, which also has an above-average number of fire stations.

Overland Park earned a 74 in the General Quality of Life category, followed closely by a score of 73 for Recreation & Leisure. These very respectable scores were achieved thanks to the area's pleasant summers, comfortable winters, average mean temperatures and good air quality. Overland Park's plentiful recreational and social amenities were also major contributing factors, such as the 75 golf courses within close range and the city's 35 public parks and more than 350 houses of worship. The numerous local conveniences, including 40 shopping centers, 229 grocery stores, 199 fitness centers and 18 movie theaters, also helped bolster these scores. 

The lowest score Overland Park received is a 70 in the Finances category, which is likely due to the city's high property and sales tax rates and the state's slightly higher-than-average income tax rate. These factors are offset by high local mean household and per capita incomes and exceptionally low monthly assisted living costs in comparison to the statewide and national averages.
