- The Cohasset area has no facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Grand Rapids.
- In Cohasset, seniors pay state income tax on all forms of retirement income, including their Social Security benefits and public pensions. This may affect how much money can be put toward assisted living expenses.

On a 100-point scale, the city's violent crime rate is 7.0, versus the national average of 22.7, and the property crime rate is 15.6, which is considerably lower than the national rate of 35.4.
