This city is home to 39,987 people, and 20% of the population is aged 65 and older. Another perk of moving to Boardman is the city’s low cost of senior care, including nursing home care.
According to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, seniors can expect to pay $7,543 a month for nursing home care.
