- Woodbridge is a relatively expensive area to live, with overall living costs that are roughly 15 percent higher than the state median and 30 percent higher than the national median. Healthcare is slightly less expensive here than in other regions of the state and nation, which may offset other expenses for seniors and families on a tight budget.
- Crime is slightly more prevalent here than it is in the nation as a whole. On a 100-point scale, with a higher score indicating more crime, the city's property crime rate is 42 and the violent crime rate is 41.2. This is compared to the national averages of 38.1 and 31.1. Memory care facilities keep residents safe by using security technology such as surveillance cameras and alarm systems.
- Social Security income is not taxable in Virginia, and seniors can deduct up to $12,000 a year against all other types of retirement income. This may make it easier for families and seniors with restrictive budgets to afford memory care in Woodbridge.
