What to Consider About Assisted Living in Auburn Hills

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Auburn Hills

 

  • Because Michigan doesn’t tax Social Security benefits or government pension income, Auburn Hills seniors who rely primarily on government benefits typically pay very little in state income taxes. Additionally, the state provides deductions on other types of retirement income, depending on the retiree’s age, leaving more money in the budget for assisted living expenses.
  • Auburn Hills has a lower crime rate than 12% of communities across Michigan and 17% of communities nationwide, indicating an above-average risk of becoming a victim of a violent or property-related offense. More importantly, the city’s crime rate is high compared to similarly sized communities across the nation. Fortunately, assisted living facilities support residents’ safety through transportation escorts and community-wide alarm systems.
  • Oakland County ranks 5th out of 83 counties in Michigan for health and ranks in the top 75-100th percentile for health factors and outcomes. The rate of premature death, or deaths of people under age 75, is 5,700 per 100,000 residents compared to 7,900 statewide and 7,300 nationally, and the average life expectancy exceeds state and national averages at 79.9.
  • Auburn Hills residents experience four distinct seasons, appealing to prospective assisted living residents who enjoy changing scenery throughout the year. The summer season lasts from late May through mid-September and brings humid conditions and daytime highs ranging from 72 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The winter season spans late November to early March and has average highs of 31 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Overall, the cost of living in Auburn Hills is about 1% over the national norm. Although housing costs run about 16% higher than the U.S. average, health care expenses come in 10% below the national norm, promoting financial favorability for prospective assisted living residents.
  • The American Lung Association reports an average of 9 days annually in which ozone pollution levels are high enough to impact vulnerable individuals, including seniors, earning the region a D for this type of pollution. However, particle pollution levels are very low, resulting in an A for 24-hour particle pollution and a passing score for annual particle pollution levels.
