Tucker is a city in DeKalb County, Georgia, near Atlanta, located just outside the northeastern tip of the perimeter. The city has around 35,000 residents, who voted in 2015 to incorporate Tucker as its own city. Seniors over the age of 65 are a large group in Tucker, making up around 17.7% of the population. With snow-free winters and lots of sunny days, its easy to see why seniors might find the Tucker weather attractive. Community-oriented festivals like Tucker Day in May and the Tucker Chili Cook-Off in March help provide a sense of belonging to retirees. Seniors may also enjoy browsing for fresh produce at the Tucker Farmer’s Market or admiring the botanical selections at the annual Tucker Plant Swap.
To help seniors discover the most senior-friendly locations around the country, Caring.com conducted a new study, “The Best and Worst Places for Senior Living.” The Caring Senior Living Report analyzes and ranks 300 cities and 50 states on the quality of senior living in that area. The cities were graded using 46 metrics across five categories: Health Care, Senior Living & Housing, Affordability, Quality of life, and Transportation.
