The SeniorScore for Peoria, Illinois



Peoria's age-friendly amenities earned it an above-average ranking, according to SeniorAdvice's proprietary SeniorScore system, which rates cities involving their overall livability. SeniorScore considers more than 100 variables ranging from climate to medical access and outdoor recreation. Across four key areas, Peoria earned an average score of 74, which is on par with a typical Illinois city and two points higher than the U.S. average.

Despite the low cost of living, Peoria's financial ranking suffered from high tax rates, average income levels and mixed long-term care costs. While assisted living rates are moderate, the cost of adult day health care tends to be much higher than average. Climatic factors are consistent with other parts of Illinois, which means that residents experience harsh winters and pleasant summers. Average weather conditions coupled with minimal public transportation and poor air quality contributed to a ranking of 65 for General Quality of Life.

Seniors in Peoria benefit from strong public safety and health care systems. The area is home to more than 50 senior living communities, 235 pharmacies and five major hospitals, including the top-performing St. Francis Medical Center.
