  • Elk Grove's low crime rates may give families peace of mind.

  • The overall cost of living trends high in Elk Grove. However, it's important to note that housing costs sit 80% above the norm, driving average expenses up significantly. Groceries and utilities, in comparison, only cost 6% more in the city than the national average.

 

 

  • Elk Grove's high physician density provides 206 physicians for every 100,000 residents — just about equivalent to the national average. Health care costs nearly 10% less than usual in the city, despite most goods and services edging higher than the norm.

 

  • Sacramento County's membership in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities ensures that city planners in Elk Grove consider the needs of seniors when devising infrastructure improvements.
