Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Arkansas City

  • With 224 sunny days on average, Arkansas City may be a good choice for some seniors. However, the July high of 91 degrees and excessive humidity may be hard for others to handle. Sperling’s Comfort Index score for the city is a low 50 out of 100. Winters bring 7 inches of snow and an average low in January of 22 degrees.
  • The Arkansas City area is home to world-class medical facilities, including South Central Kansas Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • With both violent and property crime rates higher in Arkansas City than the national average, seniors and their families may have cause for concern. On a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being high violent crime, Arkansas City ranks 26.5. That's a bit higher than the U.S. average of 22.7. Property crime here is significantly higher, with Arkansas City scoring 55.8 compared to the  U.S. average of 35.4.
  • Arkansas City has an array of community resources for seniors, including the Senior Citizens Center, an organization that provides meal programs and a variety of social, physical, emotional and educational programs to foster independence and encourage community involvement.
  • While the overall cost of living in Arkansas City is about 29% lower than the national average, almost that entire savings is due to extremely low housing costs. Seniors will pay about as much for groceries, healthcare and utilities here as they would elsewhere in the country.
  • Kiplinger notes that Kansas has the eighth-highest combined state and local sales tax rate in the United States. Although Social Security retirement benefits are not taxed at the state level, distributions from 401(k) plans, out-of-state pensions and individual retirement accounts are fully taxed for residents of Arkansas City.
