Sales taxes in Santa Clara County are higher than 83.8% of other California cities and counties. The total combined sales tax rate is 9%. However, prescription drugs and groceries aren’t taxed, which may be beneficial to seniors.
Santa Clara County has been part of the AARP Age-Friendly Network since March 2020 and collaborated with its 15 cities to create age-friendly communities. These communities implement an age-friendly destination for all county parks and focus on targeted health-related challenges for older adults.

Milpitas only gets an average of 16 inches of rain and zero inches of snow annually, while the national average is 38 inches and 28 inches, respectively. Outdoorsy seniors benefit from mild weather year-round with six comfortable months when high temperatures range between 70 and 85 degrees.
