Affordable is a great way to describe life in Thibodaux, Louisiana, a small town about 35 miles south of New Orleans. The cost of living is 13.5% below the national average and slightly below the state average, helping local seniors save money, particularly on housing. Relatively tax-friendly policies for retirement income include no state tax on Social Security income and one of the lowest property tax rates in the country, all adding up to lower costs for seniors. With a climate that is warm for most of the year and involves no snow, the biggest downside of Thibodaux weather is the hurricane season.
There are approximately seven assisted living facilities in Thibodaux, with an average price of $3,049 per month, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This is substantially lower than the national average and when paired with the area's senior-friendly tax approach and generally low cost of living, makes Thibodaux a retirement option that might appeal to seniors with limited savings.
The SeniorScore uses more than 100 data points from public and private databases to quantify a city's approach to senior living. The higher the score, the more senior-friendly the city. Thibodaux scores an overall 68, which is just a few points lower than the state and national average, in large part due to a very high score of 78 in the Finances category. In Recreation & Leisure and Health & Safety, the city scores substantially lower.
Thibodaux is a high-scoring location in finances due to factors such as very low property taxes, low income taxes and low-cost senior care. With less money spent out-of-pocket for basic necessities, seniors have more to spend on entertainment and fun, which may involve a trip into New Orleans.
In Recreation & Leisure, Thibodaux scores 49 points, in large part due to a relatively small senior population. While New Orleans is only 35 miles away, the city has plenty to offer for day-to-day amusement, including 12 golf courses, three parks, two malls and two movie theaters.
Health & Safety is another low-scoring category for this city at 50, which is likely linked to the relatively high crime rate and slightly lower than average life expectancy. Many assisted living communities have controlled entry and other security measures in place that insulate seniors from crime, which may help give retirees and their loved ones some added peace of mind.
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.
