Pen Hills is home to a sizable senior population, with almost 20 percent of the municipality's 41,000 residents aged 65 and over.
Seniors in Penn Hills who are looking for some help with daily activities while remaining mostly independent can find accommodation at one of the 34 assisted living facilities in the area.

- 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.
- Seniors may find Penn Hills' cold winters challenging. 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.

- The Port Authority provides public transit in Penn Hills and riders aged 65 and over who have a valid ID can ride for free on all Port Authority vehicles. ACCESS Paratransit also provides a door-to-door, shared-ride service which seniors may wish to utilize.
- Allegheny County, including Penn Hills, has poor air quality. The county received failing grades for all three categories measured in the State of the Air 2018 report. Seniors may find that this adversely affects their health, especially if they have an existing respiratory condition.
