Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Saint Petersburg
- Other than the warm weather, another reason seniors choose assisted living in Florida is for the state's income tax cuts.

The city has the sixth-highest violent crime rate in all of Florida and is considered more dangerous than 93 percent of all other cities throughout the state.

- Because St. Petersburg is situated on the coast, seniors should be aware that the city is at risk for dangerous weather, including hurricanes and tropical storms.
