Violent crime is relatively uncommon in this city with a rate that’s below state and national norms and low compared to rates in similarly sized cities such as Gulfport and Tarpon Springs. Assisted living facilities help seniors stay safe with measures such as escorted transportation and security systems.
  • The cost of living in Seminole is 3.5% higher than the national norm but in line with what’s typical for Florida, making it a financially favorable option for many seniors.
