The charming seaside city of Delray Beach, Florida, is situated directly on the Atlantic Coast about 50 miles north of Miami. Approximately one-quarter of the 70,000 people who call Delray Beach home are aged 65 and older, and they benefit from balmy year-round weather and easy access to miles of white sand beaches. Along with its better-than-average air quality, Delray Beach offers lots for seniors to do — outdoor enthusiasts can stroll the boardwalk at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, hike the trails at Delray Oaks and visit the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. The city's lively, eclectic downtown area provides plentiful options for those who enjoy shopping, dining, entertainment and arts and culture.

There are 125 senior living facilities in the Delray Beach area, including 19 assisted living communities. Seniors can expect to pay an average of $3,250 per month for this type of care, which represents savings of about $250 compared to the Florida average of $3,500 and $800 over the U.S. median of $4,051.



The SeniorScore for Delray Beach, Florida



The SeniorScore analyzes more than 100 variables across four distinct categories to give retirees reliable insight into senior living in a particular city or state. Delray Beach received a score of 81, which is five points above Florida's score of 76 and nine points higher than the U.S. average of 72. The community earned its highest score of 78 in the Recreation & Leisure category.

A sizable portion — 53% — of Delay Beach residents are aged 55 and older, which helped the city garner its high score for Recreation & Leisure. Other contributing factors include the city's 15 green spaces, 142 area golf courses and the numerous conveniences and social and recreational options it offers, including houses of worship, shopping centers, grocery stores, fitness facilities and movie theaters.

The identical score Delray Beach received for Health & Safety and General Quality of Life (70) is due to the area's mild winters, warm summers and ideal mean temperatures, as well as the city's high number of Medicare-registered doctors and longer-than-average expected lifespan of 79.4 years. There are also hundreds of pharmacies in close range, and retirees have a choice of seven local hospitals. These pluses helped offset Delray Beach's average air and water quality, significant annual rainfall, dense population and high crime rates.

The city earned its lowest score of 68 in the Finances category because of its relatively high property and city sales tax rates. Median household and per capita incomes in Delray Beach are well above the national average. Seniors who choose to retire here can enjoy other budget-friendly perks, including a lack of state income tax and significant monthly savings on assisted living fees, compared to the average rate paid nationwide.
