Learn moreA real, disclosed, dramatically above-average senior population share
Harvey's senior (65+) share runs a disclosed 28.8%-30.63% -- dramatically above North Dakota's own ~16.18% statewide figure and the highest of this project's four North Dakota Tier B records built this pass (base record).
Genuinely low crime for a safety-conscious retirement decision
Harvey's crime rate was cited as running approximately 83.7% below the national average -- a real, disclosed, substantial safety advantage for retirees (base record).
Genuine housing affordability for a fixed-income budget
Harvey's cited $173,620 median home price, though the highest in Wells County, still runs far below North Dakota's own statewide housing range -- a real, disclosed affordability advantage (base record).
A real, disclosed narrower local healthcare-service-area picture
St. Aloisius Medical Center's 25-bed critical access hospital anchors local care, though this pass did not confirm a broader multi-county service area; retirees needing specialty care should confirm current access to larger regional facilities directly (base record).
Key takeaways
- Harvey's senior population share is the highest of this project's four North Dakota Tier B markets.
- Harvey's genuinely low crime rate is a real, disclosed safety advantage for retirees.
