  • In terms of weather, Albany is a relatively comfortable city, rating 85 out of 100 on Sperling’s Comfort Index for its low humidity and mild temperatures.

  • The overall crime rate in Albany is 6 percent lower than the state average and is on par with the national average. The rate of violent crime in this city is 67 percent lower than California’s average and 62 percent lower than the U.S. average, though the property crime rate is 5 percent higher than the state average and 9 percent higher than the national average.  

  • The Albany Senior Center has a shuttle bus that transports seniors to area attractions, including the SHN Orpheum Theatre, the Oakland Coliseum and San Francisco’s Chinatown. Tickets for sightseeing adventures range from $8 to $50 per person, depending on the destination.  
     
  • The Albany area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Berkeley.  

  • Albany has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Legal Assistance for Seniors, an organization that provides free legal advice and representation and health insurance counseling to qualified seniors, as well as one senior center.
