Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Starbuck
- Starbuck's cost of living could be attractive to seniors on a tight budget. It is 12.2% below the U.S. median and 18.7% below the Minnesota average. Healthcare costs run 12.9 points lower than the national norm but slightly above the state average.
- Violent crimes are rare in Starbucks being reported at 9.6 versus the national average of 22.7. Property crime rates though are slightly higher than both the national and state averages.
- With summer highs only climbing to the low 80s, Starbuck's climate is ideal for seniors who enjoy being outdoors, but an average snowfall of 43 inches and midwinter temps dropping to near zero could prove challenging.Â
- Receiving an air quality rating of 90 on the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment places it well above the national average of 58 and close to a perfect score of 100. For seniors who suffer pulmonary or respiratory problems, this could be a big advantage.
- The city of Starbuck has few facilities from which to choose in the event of medical emergencies or illness, with the nearest major hospital located in Glenwood.
- Starbuck has little to offer in the form of arts, entertainment or cultural activities. The city does host eight festivals a year and there are some opportunities for outdoor lovers, such as exploring local and state parks.
