What to Consider About Assisted Living in Klamath Falls

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Klamath Falls

  • The overall cost of living in Klamath Falls is 16.5% lower than the national average and nearly 30% lower than the state average. Its average costs in each of the individual categories measured are all lower than the national average, including a 27% difference in housing and a 31% difference in transportation. Housing costs in Klamath Falls are less than half as much as the statewide average.
  • Seniors also benefit financially from Oregon being one of only five states that don’t charge any state sales tax. Counties and municipalities also don’t charge any local sales tax, so there are zero sales taxes on all items purchased in Klamath Falls and throughout the state. Plus, there aren’t any annual motor vehicle taxes or fees imposed.
  • Oregon is somewhat tax-friendly to retirees because it doesn’t tax Social Security benefits or Railroad Retirement benefits, which helps them lower their income tax bills. However, other retirement income is usually taxed, and income taxes can be as high as 9.9%. Seniors aged 62 and older may qualify for a retirement income credit depending on their household income, Social Security benefits and Railroad Retirement benefits.
  • Klamath Falls’ residents benefit from having a local hospital. Sky Lakes Medical Center is a general medical and surgical facility with a medical and surgical ICU and an on-site emergency department.
