The Oklahoma State Department of Health regulates assisted living facilities in Yukon and other cities in Oklahoma, ensuring they follow health and safety requirements. The department conducts annual surveys of assisted living providers, taking enforcement action where necessary. Survey results are available online.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Yukon

 

  • Yukon has a relatively low cost of living of 89.8 on a 100-point index, where the national average is 100. Most expenses in the city are pretty close to the U.S. average, but seniors can save on transportation, groceries and housing, allowing their budgets to go a little further.
  • Yukon's mild climate can make it a comfortable place to live. The region experiences only 6 inches of snow annually, well below the national average of 28 inches. It also has 27 more sunny days per year than the U.S. average, and low temperatures throughout winter are 5 degrees warmer than in most of the country.
  • Health care is about 18.5% more expensive in Yukon than the national average. The region also has just 58 physicians per 100,000 people, compared to the U.S. average of 210. However, Yukon has excellent local medical facilities, such as INTEGRIS Canadian Valley Hospital, ensuring quality care. The wider Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area also has a much higher physician density at 293, which is 83 more than the national average.
  • Yukon has high tax rates. The city's sales tax rate is 1.7 percentage points higher than the national average, while the income tax rate is 0.4 points higher. However, Oklahoma has exemptions for Social Security income taxation. Seniors could also be eligible for a $10,000 deduction to help stretch other forms of retirement income.
  • The risk of crime is quite low in Yukon. Measured on a 100-point scale, where the national average is 22.7, violent crimes in Yukon rate at 12.3. Property crimes come in at 29.7 — below the U.S. average of 35.4.
  • Public transportation is available through EMBARK, allowing seniors to travel around Oklahoma City. The city also has an ADA-accessible streetcar service.
  • The air quality in Yukon generally falls within the “good” category of the U.S. Air Quality Index, which means even seniors with respiratory conditions such as asthma and emphysema may find the city comfortable.
