Howard Beach is a relatively wealthy neighborhood of Queens that’s known for its large Italian population and its low-rise housing, which makes it a unique area in a city with hundreds of skyscrapers. The borough of Queens is home to more than 405,000 people aged 65 and over — 17.4% of the total population of Queens — according to 2021 U.S. Census estimates. Due in part to the high demand from such a large senior population, the cost of in-home care services is also relatively high at $5,529 per month. The statewide average is lower by 3.5% while the national average is 11.5% lower, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2021. Seniors in Howard Beach have access to excellent medical facilities, however, with dozens of large hospitals nearby in Brooklyn and Jamaica.
