Saint Marys is a small community of 18,567 people in Camden County, Georgia. Over 2,600 residents are aged 65 and older, indicating many choose to retire to this area. A low cost of living and a comfortable climate make it an appealing place to settle down. This coastal city is right across the water from Cumberland Island, a protected historic and natural area where residents can spend time soaking up the sun or dipping their feet in the sand and water. Fishing is a popular pastime, and the Osprey Cove Golf Course provides a location for golfing.
Many seniors who settle in Saint Marys may need the help of assisted living communities, and there are 19 of these communities in and around the city. The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey estimates an average cost of assisted living care in the area to be $4,150. This is lower than national averages, giving seniors an affordable place for their retirement years that's close to the water and near many outdoor activities.
To figure SeniorScore, 100 different factors within a community are considered to see how friendly the area is for seniors. Saint Marys, GA, scores fairly well with a score of 71, which is just one point less than both the national and state averages of 72. SeniorScore further breaks down this score into four categories, which are General Quality of Life, Finances, Recreation & Leisure and Health & Safety.
General Quality of Life has the highest score of 72, followed by Finances with a score of 73. The ideal southern climate in Saint Marys appeals to many seniors, and the region has good air and water quality scores. It's also not a densely packed population, so seniors have room to spread out. This earns the city a General Quality of Life score of 82. The region has a low cost of living and low tax rates, and that means it's affordable to live in Saint Marys. That earns the city a 73 score for Finances.
Saint Marys doesn't score well for Health & Safety or Recreation & Leisure. In Health & Safety, the score of 52 comes from the fact that only one hospital serves the region. However, seniors will find many Medicare registered physicians nearby, which is a perk. The city's small size means few recreation facilities, and that earns it a score of 46. Still, seniors will find 17 golf courses, 6 shopping areas and 11 parks to make life interesting.
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.
