With more than 250 days of sunshine per year, San Jose, California is an ideal retirement spot for seniors looking to escape harsh winters. It's also home to the San Jose Museum of Art, Lick Observatory, and the Tech Museum of Innovation, just to name a few of the city's attractions. For seniors who enjoy sand and surf, some of the best Pacific beaches are less than a one hour drive from San Jose, making it easy to get away for an afternoon of fun in the sun. Although San Jose's median annual income is higher than the national average, seniors who retire in the area should be prepared to pay high sales and property taxes.
San Jose has 267 assisted living facilities, which cost an average of $5,853 per month, according to Genworth Financial's 2019 Cost of Care Survey. For seniors who want to avoid some of the higher-cost coastal areas of California, San Jose could be a good place to retire.
A city's SeniorScore indicates how well it rates in four categories of relevance to older adults: Health & Safety, Finances, Recreation & Leisure and General Quality of Life. San Jose has a SeniorScore of 70, which is slightly below the national average of 72. The city scored especially well in the Health & Safety and General Quality of Life categories.
For Health & Safety, San Jose received a score of 68, partly because the average life expectancy of people living in San Jose is slightly above the national average. San Jose seniors also have access to a variety of resources to help them manage their health as they age, such as a high number of Medicare-registered physicians, a high number of home health care providers and more than 600 pharmacies in and around the city. The Regional Medical Center of San Jose ranks as high-performing for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure, while Kaiser Permanente San Jose Medical Center is a high-performing hospital for knee replacement.
A mild climate and average daily commute time helped boost San Jose's General Quality of Life score to 72. The city's average temperatures are mild, which means seniors don't have to contend with ice and snow during the winter. San Jose also receives ideal levels of rainfall each year. San Jose's lowest score is in the Finances category, which is mostly due to high tax rates and an unemployment rate that tends to be higher than the national average.
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.
