  • Although Lane County gets 56 inches of rain per year, 17 inches more than the national average of 39 inches, it only gets five inches of snow annually, 19 inches less than the U.S. average of 26 inches. Temperatures remain in the comfortable 80 to 35 degree range throughout the year. The sun only shines 157 days annually in the county, compared to the 205 day country average. Residents who enjoy the sunshine might not like living in Lane County.
  • Oregon’s tax laws could help Lane County seniors have more money to put toward their healthcare expenses. Although retirement savings account income is fully taxed, pensions are only partially taxed and Social Security benefits aren’t taxed at all.
  • Lane County’s air quality is worse than other areas in the U.S. On a scale where 100 represents the areas with the best air quality, Lane County ranks 52, compared to the U.S. average of 58. While the difference is only six index points, seniors who have chronic respiratory conditions should keep the county’s lower air quality in mind when seeking out memory care facilities in Oregon.
  • Lane County has a violent crime rate of 46.9 and a property crime rate of 47.5, a few index points higher than the national averages of 31.1 and 38.1, respectively.
