The place is age friendly because even though there is some crime in this town the people that do live here care about their community the bus offers free rides during the summer and free internet in the bus. Also, they have cooling centers for homeless. They have different programs for children.

Age friendly because of easy access to public transportation and location of several senior facilities. Housing is more affordable than other nearby cities. However town has a reputation that may discourage seniors from living there (crime rate primarily)
