Due to its relatively small size of roughly 53,000 residents and the fact it's all too often overshadowed by the nearby metropolis of Dallas, Wylie is one of the Lone Star State's best-kept retirement destinations for seniors. Its low crime rate and decades-long history of an active social environment ensure seniors can find age-appropriate activities that match their interests. Wiley also hosts numerous festivals and annual city-wide events that draw in thousands of visitors from across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, including the Wiley Arts Festival, Bluegrass on Ballard, National Night Out and the Wylie Championship Rodeo.
Including those just outside of Wiley's city limits, Wiley has 157 assisted living facilities, and according to Genworth's 2020 Cost of Care Survey, these hands-on senior care communities typically cost around $4,000 per month — $300 lower than the national average. Wiley's below-average assisted living costs and Texas' lack of state income taxes make Wiley is perfect for low-cost retirement living.
The SeniorScore helps seniors gauge the senior-friendliness of localities they're thinking about moving to. Seniors considering a move within Northeast Texas can't go wrong with Wylie, which holds a relatively high SeniorScore of 75 points. This score is three points above the national average.
The SeniorScore features rankings in four categories, including Finances and General Quality of Life, collectively pulling together more than 100 data points from private market research, government reports and other public sources. Wylie holds a score of 80 in General Quality of Life, its highest-scoring category by far. With its superior air quality, ideal year-round temperature, average population density and favorable rainfall levels, it's no secret why Wylie's such a great place for any senior to settle down. To be fair, residents' quality of living isn't perfect; older adults with grandchildren may not be satisfied with the Wylie Independent School District's low public school quality. Wylie's next-highest category is Finances, in which the municipality scores a 70. Although per capita and household income figures are higher than national averages, property taxes are low relative to property values.
Its lowest two scores are in Health & Safety and Recreation & Leisure — 62 and 54 points, respectively. Wiley is close to Dallas, giving residents ample recreation options, although local seniors have few assisted living facilities to choose from relative to demand.
The SeniorScore™ is calculated based on over 100 variables, some of which are shown below. The final score is curved based on a linear curving method. For More info visit senioradvice.com/seniorscore.
As part of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and a suburb of northeastern Dallas, goods and services in Wylie cost practically the same as in Dallas itself. This includes assisted living facilities, which average $4,000 per month per the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey. Although this is practically the same as the Lone Star State's statewide average of $3,998, it's a full $300 cheaper than the national average, making Wylie a great place to save money as a senior.
Genworth's 2020 Cost of Care Survey lists 24 cities and towns in total. Many of these localities, especially the more well-known cities, are more expensive to live in compared to the Wylie area. Houston's assisted living facilities, for example, cost $4,750 per month on average; Austin's cost $4,250 per month. Although they're not as large as Houston or Austin, Amarillo and Midland — the 15th- and 23rd-largest cities in the Lone Star State — high demand for living in these locales directly leads to their well-above-average assisted living facility costs of $4,600 and $5,250, respectively. Some Texas towns have some incredibly cheap rates, such as Texarkana, where assisted living costs just $2,600 per month.
