The small town of Manchester, Tennessee sits halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga right along I-24. This community is home to just 11,000 people, 15.7% of whom are age 65 and older. In spite of its small size, Manchester has much to appeal to its residents, and every fall it draws quite a crowd with the Bonnaroo Music and Art Festival. Seniors who enjoy outdoor recreation may enjoy hiking in the Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park, which has beautiful waterfalls and a historic Native American structure.
Because of its small size, Manchester has a limited number of assisted living communities, including two in the city itself and 16 additional options nearby. It also has one of the higher costs of assisted living compared to other communities. The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey estimates the average cost in the Manchester area to be $4,515. This is $500 higher than the state's average and 200 higher than the national average.
Manchester has many things to appeal to seniors, but its SeniorScore of 67 is lower than both the state and national averages, which are 72. SeniorScore uses 100 data points to determine how senior-friendly a community is. It breaks that data down into four categories: General Quality of Life, Recreation & Leisure, Health & Safety and Finances.
Of the four categories, Manchester's highest score is in Finances. Though assisted living costs are high in this area, taxes are lower than average. Also, Tennessee has no income tax, which helps retirement dollars stretch further. For these reasons, Manchester has a score of 68 for finances. General Quality of Life isn't far behind with a score of 64. Moderate weather and above-average air quality are beneficial to seniors who settle here. It is also a sparsely populated community, but it does get quite a bit of rain each year.
On the low side, Manchester earns 52 for Health & Safety. It only has two nearby hospitals and only an average number of Medicare-registered doctors. It also has high crime rates. Its small size means there are few stores, parks and golf courses in the community, which earns it a score of just 54 for Recreation & Leisure.
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.
