Located 21 miles southeast from Lafayette, New Iberia is the largest city in Iberia Parish and is known for its culture and fine eateries. New Iberia is home to approximately 28,600 people with 16% aged 65 and older. It offers a low cost of living when compared to both the state and national average, and because the state doesn’t tax Social Security income, seniors can keep more of their money at the end of the year.
The SeniorScore of New Iberia is 70, which is slightly lower than the national average. This score was created to help seniors find a place to live that addresses needs and preferences. It’s broken down into four categories: Health & Safety, Recreation & Leisure, Finances and General Quality of Life. The city scored the highest in Finances with a score of 75 due in part to low property taxes and low health care costs. In General Quality of Life, New Iberia scored a score of 64. The city has mild winters and hot summers but never gets snow, which is ideal for seniors trying to escape the cold. Other points that were considered for Recreation & Leisure and Health & Safety are the number of hospitals, which include Iberia General Hospital and Dauterive Hospital, the number of senior facilities within range and the number of activities close by for seniors, including golf courses, parks, shopping centers and health clubs.
This guide details the cost of home care and home health in the city and surrounding areas and provides information on programs and services for seniors.
