Here's a link to the study:
http://www.floridatrend.com/public/u...Aging-2017.pdf
If you read it carefully, some factors were poorly ranked for TV - healthy lifestyle (excessive alcohol consumption/binge drinking), costly home ownership (median home price is high for national average), high rates of chronic disease (diabetes, obesity, heart disease, neurological diseases), low employment potential for 65+, long ER wait times, poor public transportation system, and so on. If you look at the bright side, there's excellent community involvement, low crime rate, bountiful recreation options, etc.
Remember, they AVERAGE things - of the supposed 114,000+ residents - how many are active? How many are healthy? How many are - etc., etc.
