Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Humble

• Like Houston, its larger neighbor to the south, Humble, TX, has long, hot summers and very mild winters. August temperatures here average 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Several 100-plus summer days encourage many seniors to stay in their air conditioned rooms until sunset. Winter lows average 44 degrees, which makes for nice nights with open windows.
  
  
• Prices in Humble are generally lower than in the rest of the country. Seniors who shop for themselves pay about 84 percent the average cost at the grocery store, for instance, while their health care bills are close to 3 percent cheaper than elsewhere in the nation. Transportation is relatively affordable in Humble, where locals pay around 4 percent less per mile than in similar cities nationwide.
  
  
• Seniors pay no state income tax in Texas on their retirement income, regardless of its source, since the state doesn't tax income at all. Senior shoppers do pay the state sales tax of between 6.25 and 8.25 percent, however, and drivers across Texas have to deal with the 20 cent gas tax.
  
  
• Property crime is very high in Humble, TX. Averaged over all crime categories, the rate here is nearly three times the national figures. Almost all of this is petty theft, however, like shoplifting, and almost none of it is serious violent crimes of the sort seniors need to be concerned about. Between 2007 and 2017, for instance, Humble had only four homicides.
  
  
• Public transportation in Humble is provided by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, which operates rural routes in and around the city. Seniors can book paratransit service for curb-to-curb rides on ADA-compliant buses.
