The Best Communities in Akron, OH

With a cost of living well below the national average, Akron is an underrated options for retirees who enjoy the amenities of a big city with the feel of a smaller one. About 30,000 seniors live in the Rubber City, and many have disposable income thanks to Ohio exempting Social Security income from state taxes. Seniors with an interest in culture will enjoy Akron, which offers discounts to both the Akron Art Museum and the Akron Symphony Orchestra. Sports fans can get discounted admission at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in nearby Canton as well as for the city’s minor league baseball team, the Akron RubberDucks. Residents have easy access to Akron General Hospital, the area’s top medical facility.

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.
