The SeniorScore for Wesley Chapel, Florida



With an overall SeniorScore of 76, Wesley Chapel fares better than many other locations nationwide (the U.S. average is 72). Its score is also equal to the Florida average. A liveability index designed specifically with the needs of seniors in mind, the SeniorScore uses an algorithm to determine a location’s senior friendliness. That score is then broken out into four distinct categories. Of these, Wesley Chapel scores highest in General Quality of Life, with a 77, and Finances, with a 76. 

The ideal average temperatures and quality air help contribute to a high General Quality of Life score, as do the public school safety and graduation rates. Wesley Chapel is also a much smaller city than Tampa, so seniors can experience a slower pace yet still access all that Tampa offers. 

Seniors and their families can expect to pay lower property and city sales taxes here, with the added bonus of zero state taxes. At the same time, retirees in the city earn more and pay less for assisted living. Taken together with the lower cost of living and tax advantages Florida offers, it is no wonder Wesley Chapel scores highly in the Finances category.

Although a lower score of 61 in Health & Safety is attributable to fewer local hospitals, seniors can still readily access health facilities in Tampa. The city also offers more than 70 local senior living communities to choose from. While Wesley Chapel scores lower, a 56, in Recreation & Leisure, there are many more options less than 30 miles away, and seniors still have access to six local parks, a dozen malls and shopping centers and many more options for grocery shopping or exercise classes.
