Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in West St. Paul

  • Minnesota is among the few states that impose state income tax on all forms of retirement income, including Social Security benefits. This may affect how much money seniors can put toward assisted living expenses in West St. Paul. 
  • West St. Paul's air quality is decent, which may be beneficial to seniors who have conditions like heart disease or COPD. The American Lung Association gives Dakota County, where this city is located, a B for short-term particle pollution and a passing grade for annual particle pollution. 
  • The overall cost of living in West St. Paul is about 14% higher than the national average. While this may be a consideration for seniors who have restrictive assisted living budgets, some living expenses may be offset by the relatively low cost of healthcare, which is about 14% below the national average. 
  • West St. Paul has a fairly high crime rate, so seniors who are seeking out assisted living may want to find a facility that uses security features like surveillance cameras and alarm systems. The city has a higher crime rate than 96% of U.S. cities of all sizes and 99% of Minnesota cities of all sizes, and a resident's chance of being the victim of any type of crime is one in 19.
