Scottsdale, Arizona, is a popular retirement destination well-known for its mild, sunny weather and outstanding amenities. The state's fifth-largest city is home to a vibrant downtown area that features boutique and luxury shopping opportunities, unique eateries, numerous museums, high-end art galleries and cultural venues and events. Its Sonoran Desert location, proximity to the McDowell Mountains and Tonto National Forest and plentiful golf courses, parks and preserves also make it ideal for retirees who enjoy communing with nature and active outdoor pursuits.
Scottsdale offers seniors a choice of 174 assisted living facilities, where retirees can expect to pay rates below the state and national averages. According to data from Genworth Financial's 2019 Cost of Care Survey, the metro area has an average assisted living cost of $3,500 per month, which is $551 below the nationwide median and $250 less than the Arizona average. Scottsdale's extensive selection of affordable assisted living communities and high quality of life make the city an attractive option for many retirees.
The SeniorScore for Scottsdale, Arizona
The SeniorScore offers insight into the livability of a community by gathering 100 data points in four key categories of particular relevance to older adults. Scottsdale has a SeniorScore of 86, which is substantially higher than the Arizona score of 70 and the U.S. average of 72. The city achieved its highest score of 83 in the General Quality of Life category, but also scored well in Recreation & Leisure and Health & Safety with ratings of 77 and 76, respectively. Scottsdale's lowest score was a 67 in the Finances category.
Factors that contributed to Scottsdale's high score in the General Quality of Life category include an enviable climate with warm, yet comfortably dry summers, mild winters, and abundant sunshine. Average water quality and less than ideal air quality are two reasons why the city scored 83 instead of a perfect 100.
In Scottsdale, about 34% of residents are aged 55 and over, and the city offers a plethora of senior-friendly activities, which accounts for its high score in the Recreation & Leisure category. Golfing and outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of 159 area courses and 20 parks in the city center alone. Scottsdale seniors have 268 churches to choose from, as well as 25 movie theaters. To stay fit, seniors can join one of the city's 145 gyms and health clubs, while those who need a day of retail therapy have a choice of 10 malls and shopping centers.
Scottsdale earned its lowest score in the Finances category, largely because of its higher-than-average cost of living and city tax rate. These extra expenses are offset by property and state income tax rates below the national norms and significant savings on monthly assisted living costs. The per capita and household incomes of Scottsdale residents are also markedly higher than the U.S. averages, and Arizona seniors don't pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits.
