- The overall cost of living in Penn Hills is 86.5 on the Sperling index. This is 13.5 points below the U.S. average, which is largely due to the low cost of housing. Everyday expenses like groceries and healthcare are also lower than the national average, which may help seniors who are on a fixed income.

The average low temperature in December is 21 degrees and the city gets around 28 inches of snow each year, 2 inches more than the U.S. average. Penn Hills only has around 162 days of sunshine each year, 43 fewer than the national average, which may disappoint seniors looking for a sunny retirement.
