Seniors here enjoy the low crime rate and the low
cost-of-living. On a scale of 100, with 100 being the national
average, Kerrville rates a 95 when it comes to living expenses.
The sales tax here is high at 8.25%, but prescriptions and groceries are
exempt. There is no state income tax and no inheritance tax;
property taxes are $23 per $1,000. Food and transportation
costs are slightly higher than the national average, but health care and
recreation costs
are well below the national average. These factors combine to make Kerrville an attractive choice
for a low cost retirement.
