Starting out as a lumber town founded in 1878 by Civil War Veterans, Antigo is the seat of Langlade County, Wisconsin, and has a population of 8,200, approximately 20% aged 65 or older. These residents can choose from three assisted living communities in town should they be unable to perform activities of daily living with some assistance.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Antigo
- The cost of living in Antigo is 79 compared to the state average of 98 and the national average of 100. This is driven largely by the cost of housing, which is half the national average, and lower transportation costs of 74. Seniors living in assisted living may benefit indirectly due to lower operating costs at the facility.
- Based on a scale of 1 to 100 (high), Antigo's violent crime rate is 9.8, 10 points lower than the state average of 19.4 and less than half the national average of 22.7. However, the city's property crime is 80.9, more than double the national average of the state average of 28.2 and the national median of 35.4. Concerned family members can take comfort in knowing that most assisted living communities are in secure buildings with security cameras and other measures in place to protect residents.
- Antigo receives 31 inches of rain and 55 inches of snow each year, compared to the U.S. averages of 38 inches of rain and 28 inches of snow per year. On average, the city gets 184 sunny days per year, whereas the U.S. average is 205 sunny days. The annual temperature range of 2 to 79 degrees might be a challenge for seniors sensitive to the cold who are moving to the community from warmer climes.
- Antigo has excellent air quality. At 73, the air quality here is much higher than the national median. These numbers are based on the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment. Seniors with respiratory conditions may breathe easier here than in more polluted cities across the country.
- In Antigo and all of Wisconsin, seniors don't pay tax on Social Security. Retirement accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s are fully taxed, which may leave a dent in seniors' assisted living budgets.
