  • Retirees in Monroe County do not pay state income tax on Social Security income, but all other forms of retirement income are taxable. However, seniors may claim a large deduction to minimize this expense, possibly leaving more money in the budget for memory care expenses.
  • Monroe County's air quality is fair, with the county receiving a C for ozone pollution and an A for short-term particle pollution from the American Lung Association. The county's relatively clean air may benefit seniors who have cardiovascular or respiratory illnesses.

Healthcare expenses, including hospital stays and routine medical and dental care, cost about 13 percent below the national average, which may benefit seniors with chronic conditions like dementia.
  • Over the course of a year, Monroe County's temperatures range between 18 and 81 degrees. The area receives considerably more snow than the overall national average, with 95 inches of snow versus the national average of 26 inches.
