- For seniors looking to save on daily living costs, Cleveland County may be a good option. Though higher than the state average, the overall cost of living scores 97.1 compared to the U.S national average of 100.
- While winters are mild, summers in Cleveland County can be very hot, which could be uncomfortable for some seniors. The area is also known to experience severe storms. When visiting a facility, seniors and their families may want to ask about the precautions a facility has in place to keep its residents protected from extreme conditions.
- A low rate of crime can be comforting to seniors and their loved ones. Municipalities in Cleveland County are considered safer than the average U.S. city, scoring a 13.7 out of a possible 100 in terms of violent crime, compared to the national average of 22.7, though family members may still benefit from inquiring about a facility's security policies and procedures.
- Though the sales tax in Oklahoma is high, seniors do not get taxed on Social Security retirement benefits. The state also offers a $10,000 deduction toward other types of retirement income such as a 401(k) or pension earnings.
