Beach's cited median age (~45.2) and Golden Valley County's own cited median age (45.7-47.2) both run genuinely above ND's ~36.0-year statewide median age and the ~39.1-year national median (base record).
Genuinely affordable housing for a fixed income

North Dakota's real, favorable tax structure
North Dakota's low top income tax rate (2.50%) and modest statewide effective property tax rate (~0.99%) offer a real, favorable tax backdrop for retirees (base record).
