Albuquerque garners a SeniorScore of 73%, which is slightly higher than the U.S. average of 72%. This rating is based on four general categories that are important aspects of quality senior living.
The general quality of life in Albuquerque gains the highest category SeniorScore of 72%. The city’s comfortable high-desert climate consists of mild winters and warm-to-hot summers, and plenty of clear sunny days allow seniors to easily run errands and do outdoor activities throughout the year. The city’s recreation and leisure category receives a Senior Score of 69%. The Albuquerque area has a number of golf courses that are open year-round, and parks, churches, shopping centers, theaters and health clubs keep retirees physically and socially active.
In terms of health and safety, Albuquerque’s SeniorScore is 62%. The city is home to premier medical facilities such as Presbyterian Healthcare Services, Lovelace Health System and the University of New Mexico Hospital, and there’s a high number of Medicare-registered physicians for convenient health care access. Albuquerque’s finances category receives the lowest SeniorScore at 59% due to the city’s lower-than-average income levels. However, the Burque is generally an affordable big city, and New Mexico’s tax rates are moderately senior-friendly.
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.
