An estimated 21% of the population is aged 65 and over, promoting access to community-based services and social opportunities, and points of interest, such as museums and parks, support a strong local economy. The city offers high access to health care with about 240 doctors per capita, and average costs for services, such as inpatient hospital care, doctor’s office visits and dental care, are a little lower than the national median.
Over a dozen assisted living facilities serve Montpelier, offering older adults a range of options to fit their needs.

The SeniorScore is a 100-point livability index that assesses how suitable a region is for older adults. It’s based on over 100 factors gathered from various sources for an unbiased look at the level of comfort a region provides for seniors. In Montpelier, the SeniorScore is 72, which is consistent with state and national averages, indicating a comparable range of benefits for seniors.
About a third of Montpelier’s residents are aged 55 and over, which may support funding for a range of community-based services for older adults. The region has numerous age-friendly amenities that many assisted living facilities organize trips to, including three movie theaters, three local parks and two shopping centers, and nearly 70 churches promote social connections for residents. These factors contribute to a Recreation & Leisure score of 71.
Montpelier has more moderate scores across SeniorScore’s other categories, including 62 in General Quality of Life, 61 in Finances and 60 in Health & Safety. The city’s summers are comfortable but winters tend to be very cold, and it receives less annual rainfall than the typical U.S. city. The cost of living and property taxes are very high, which may make residential living a cost-effective alternative to living in a private home. Senior care costs are high compared to the nation as a whole, but the per capita income is also considerably higher than the national median. Older adults have high access to health care, including a large network of Medicare-registered doctors, two hospitals and approximately 40 pharmacies. Crime rates are very low, which may appeal to older adults moving to the area for assisted living.
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.
