The SeniorScore for Marietta, Georgia
The SeniorScore weighs more than 100 data points in four categories — Recreation and Leisure, Health and Safety, Finances and overall Quality of Life — to provide a metric of how well a city meets the unique lifestyle needs of seniors. Marietta has an overall score of 76, which is identical to the score received for Finances. In each of the other three categories, the city received a score of 65.
The city's high score in Finances is partly due to its lower-than-average sales and property tax rates and high median household and per capita income levels. Georgia's tax break on up to $65,000 in retirement income, which includes Social Security benefits, and senior care costs well below the national norm are other contributing factors.
The 65 Marietta garnered for Health and Safety is bolstered by its high number of Medicare-registered doctors and home health care providers, along with its 832 pharmacies and 11 area hospitals. However, the area's high crime rates detracted from this score. The recreation and leisure score of 65 is influenced by the 15 parks near the city center and the 91 golf courses, 31 shopping malls and 271 churches available to seniors. The fact that residents aged 55 and older make up just 22% of the population kept the city from scoring higher in this category.
Marietta's mild winters and comfortable mean temperature helped it achieve a score of 65 for general Quality of Life, but the area's annual rainfall above the U.S. average, less than ideal air quality and high population density had a negative impact on the score in this category.
