Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Milpitas

  • California doesn’t tax Social Security income, which benefits retirees in Milpitas. However, most other retirement benefits are taxed. Seniors with significant incomes pay substantial income taxes, but income taxes for those with lower to middle incomes are relatively reasonable.
  • 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.
  • Although property crime in Milpitas is slightly higher than the national average, violent crime is much lower. On a scale of one to 100, Milpitas rates a 13.1 for violent crime compared to 22.7 nationwide and 25.2 statewide. Assisted living facilities generally have security features to ensure resident safety.

  • 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. On the comfort index scale, Milpitas receives a 9.9 out of 10 for its summer climate.
  • Milpitas has an extremely high overall cost of living that’s more than double the national average. A significant cause of this inflated cost is because housing costs are four times higher than the national average. However, seniors in assisted living aren’t looking to buy a home, and they benefit from health care costs that are nearly identical to the national average.
