AARP has a great resource for those considering a move. It is particularly useful if you are considering a move to an new area or region of the country. The resource is called the "Livability Index" and it attempts to take a holistic approach to looking at things that make an area more desirable in the day-to-day aspects of life.
The index tracks housing costs, neighborhood amenities, transportation options, environment, health care access, civic and social engagement and inclusion opportunities. While these may not all be of concern to you, it is a great place to start when looking at making a change. Click here to see how your community rates.
