Mount Pleasant is a small community in the northeast part of Texas that serves as the county seat for Titus County. With just 16,000 residents, 12% of whom are seniors 65 years old and older, the community retains the slower pace of a small town in a rural part of the country. The weather here is generally pleasant with long, hot summers and winters with little snow, which those who are sensitive to colder temperatures may appreciate. Many Mount Pleasant seniors may be considering moving into an assisted living community as they age due to their increasing need for care and personal assistance.

There are 11 assisted living communities in Mount Pleasant. Average monthly fees of $3,995 are on par with the Texas state average of $3,998 and a few hundred dollars less than the national average of $4,300. With a low cost of living and a lack of state income tax in Texas, the Mount Pleasant area may be a great place for retirees to call home.



The SeniorScore for Mount Pleasant, TX



SeniorScore evaluates cities across the country using public and private databases and over 100 metrics to generate a numerical score from 1 to 100 of how senior-friendly a city is. Mount Pleasant scores 66, considerably lower than the 74 that Texas received and less than the national average of 72. Seniors who are on a fixed income may be happy to note that the Finances subcategory scored a 70 although those who are more active may wish to note the Recreation & Leisure score of just 50.

Texas does not levy a state income tax, and this factor, plus a very low cost of living compared to the national average, contributed to the Finances score of 70. However, the per capita income in Mount Pleasant is lower than the national average although many types of senior care, including nursing home accommodations and home health care, are much lower than usual. Health & Safety scores a 52. Because there's just one hospital in the area, Titus Regional Medical Center, seniors may have to travel farther for specialized medical care. There are 22 pharmacies for seniors to refill prescriptions and pick up medications and a low number of fire stations in the city. However, seniors should note that both property and violent crime rates are higher than the national average.
