What To Consider About Assisted Living in Montoursville

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Montoursville

  • Montoursville’s economy is kind to tight budgets. The overall cost of living in Montoursville is 15% below the national average. Residents of the city also get to see some day-to-day savings from the city’s sales tax rate of 6%, which is slightly lower than the U.S. average of 7.3%. Additionally, the income tax rate of 4.7% is only a tenth of a percentage point higher than the national average.
  • The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation makes two cost-saving programs available to the state’s seniors. Its free transit program lets people over 65 years of age ride fixed-route buses for no cost. Seniors with destinations off the fixed routes can also take advantage of the state’s shared-ride program for senior citizens, which allows them to reserve curb-to-curb rideshares for just 15% of the regular fee.
  • The city’s climate is somewhat wetter and grayer than that of most U.S. regions, with an average of only 174 sunny days per year against a national average of 205. Winters can get quite cold, with average highs just above the freezing mark from December to February. On the other hand, Montoursville summers are quite nice; high temperatures range from the low 70s to the mid-80s from May to September.
  • Health-conscious seniors will likely appreciate the quality of Montoursville’s environment. According to BestPlaces’ ratings, the air quality here is 60/100, slightly better than the national average of 58/100. Water quality is far above national averages, with Montoursville enjoying a rating of 94/100 against a U.S. average of 55/100.
  • Property crime rates in the area are nearly identical to those nationwide, but Montoursville sees exceptionally low rates of violent crime. The violent crime rate here is 10.5 on a 100-point scale, much lower than the national average of 22.7.
