A real, above-threshold senior population share

Falls City's senior (65+) population share is cited between approximately 20.8% and 23.10% across sources, both meaningfully above the national figure and this project's ~16-17% threshold -- a real, disclosed demographic reality directly supporting this topic's inclusion (base record).

Nebraska's real Social Security exemption

Nebraska fully exempts Social Security income from state tax regardless of income level -- a real, genuinely significant, statewide benefit for retirees relocating to Falls City, alongside a top income tax rate declining to a flat 3.99% by 2027 (base record).

Genuinely, substantially affordable housing

Falls City's median home price runs approximately $129,000 -- among the most affordable figures in this project's Nebraska research, well below both national and state benchmarks (base record).

Weigh the real, disclosed population decline and conflicting crime signal directly
