Colin Powell neocons -ing crazies Florence, Oregon named top retirement town

Retirement Places Rated


FLORENCE, Ore. - The coastal Oregon town of Florence has been rated the top retirement spot in America, according to Retirement Places Rated.

Scottsdale, Ariz., and Charleston, S.C., take second and third place in the book by David Savageau, which ranks U.S. cities based on safety, affordability and ambiance.

Florence is the smallest city on the top 10 list, and the town's average age is 55.8, more than 20 years older than the national average.

Thirty-eight percent of Florence's 7,600 residents are at least 65 years old, and the town's mayor, Alan Burns, is a mortician.

"I wanted a place of beauty, serenity, yet close to a place with symphony orchestras and that's what Florence provided," said 90-year-old P.T. Smith, the city's former mayor.

Savageau's annual ranking compares 203 retirement destinations across the United States based on ambiance, cost of living, climate, personal safety, services and the economy.

According to USA Today, this year's study reflects a continuing shift from Florida as a retirement mecca to the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest.


The Geeze News The Florence Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes you and hopes you find what you're looking for amidst Florence's many advantages.


Florence, Oregon is a top retirement choice located on the central Oregon coast along U.S. Highway 101, the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway, providing convenient access to a host of outdoor recreational activities and breathtaking scenery. The Florence, Oregon area is popular as a diverse and rich "playground" destination, where lush green forests meet the ocean's edge along one of America's most beautiful and dramatic coastlines. We are fortunate to be situated amid the Oregon Dunes and Siltcoos Recreation Areas, providing a host of outdoor activities. In addition, we are conveniently located to major Oregon Coast attractions such as the Sea Lion Caves, Heceta Head Lighthouse, Oregon Coast Aquarium, casinos and outlet malls.

Florence has a steadily growing population of over 7,000 and serves a market base of approximately 20,000. It is the largest community in western Lane County, and is a center for business, medical care, education and other services. The town is also accessible via Oregon Highway 126, from Eugene; Oregon's second largest city and home of the University of Oregon. Hwy 126, a one hour scenic route, runs from the fertile Willamette Valley and then along the Siuslaw River, which flows through coastal mountains to Florence and the Pacific Ocean.
