This type of pollution, which develops when gases from smokestacks and tailpipes come into contact with sunlight, can worsen the symptoms of some medical conditions. Shelbyville's clean air may make the city a good option for seniors with conditions like COPD or cardiovascular disease.
- Shelbyville seniors do not pay state income tax on their Social Security benefits, but withdrawals from retirement savings accounts and disbursements from government and private pensions are taxed as regular income. This may affect how much money is available for assisted living services.
- Shelbyville has a lower crime rate than just 10 percent of cities of all sizes across the country and 7 percent of Indiana cities, and it has notably more violent and property crime than other U.S. cities that are similar in population size.
