Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Auburn

• Auburn is situated halfway up the hills from the valley communities of the Sacramento area, so weather here can get both warmer and colder than on the valley floor. Daily highs in Auburn average 72 degrees Fahrenheit, lows average 50 degrees, and 37 inches of rain falls annually. It snows in Auburn, but as a rule only in the very coldest parts of winter.
  
  
• Auburn's cost of living is significantly higher than the national average, but not bad by California's high standards. Health and grocery costs are about 10 percent higher than the national median.
  
  
• Taxes are an issue for any Californian, but Auburn residents are not especially hard hit. Placer County imposes a 0.25-percent sales tax, which combines with California's standard 6-percent tax and a special 1-percent surtax to create a unified 7.25-percent duty on most goods. California does have some of the highest state income taxes in the country, however, and some retirement income is subject to it.
