Located in New Haven County just off the I-84, Southbury is a small, friendly town that's known for its stunning historical neighborhoods and abundance of natural beauty. Just over 19,570 people call Southbury home, and 29.8% of the town's residents are seniors aged 65 and older. Statewide, seniors make up 17.7% of the population.
Given the exceptionally large senior community in Southbury, it's easy to see why the area offers a number of services geared towards older adults. There's a town-sponsored senior center and a low-cost seniors transportation service, as well as a number of senior-friendly attractions in the area, including the New England Railroad Museum and the Litchfield Performing Arts Center.
There are 14 assisted living facilities in Southbury and the surrounding area. According to Genworth Financial's 2020 Cost of Care Survey, these facilities have an average cost of $7,838 per month.
The SeniorScore is a data-based index designed to help seniors evaluate the senior-friendliness of various cities. Southbury has a SeniorScore of 71, which is just below the statewide average of 72 and four points lower than the national score of 75. Of the four categories that make up the SeniorScore, Southbury's highest score of 76 was for Recreation & Leisure, and its lowest score of 53 was for General Quality of Life.
Southbury's high score in the Recreation & Leisure category was due to the more than 100 golf courses in the area, including the senior-friendly nine-hole Gainfield Farms course. The city also has a dozen movie theaters, three shopping centers and a number of city and state parks with extensive nature trails, fishing and picnic areas and washroom facilities.
In terms of Health & Safety, seniors with Medicare benefits will find plenty of Medicare-registered physicians in Southbury, and the average life expectancy in the area is 80.8, which is 2.2 years greater than the national average. Emergency and acute medical services are available at a number of nearby facilities.
Southbury's score of 53 in the General Quality of Life category reflects the city's notably poor air quality, something that seniors with respiratory issues may want to keep in mind. The city's climate is also less than desirable, with plenty of rain and harsh, long winters, as is typical along the northeastern coast, although summers are warm and pleasant.
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.
