Region's affordability mojo carries through to seniors

The buzz about Tampa of late, for many good reasons, is about the city becoming a younger town, ripe with opportunities for up-and-coming professionals.

A new survey shows that Tampa, compared to other large metro areas nationwide, also leads the country in median monthly senior living costs. Commissioned by senior living referral service A Place for Mom, the study analyzed data from people who moved into senior living between 2017 and 2018. A Place for Mom bills the report, the 2018 National Senior Living Cost Index, as the only free data source of its kind.
