A real, above-benchmark senior population

Jamestown's cited median age (40.7 years) and 65+ population share (18.4%-20.3% across sources) both run well above the ~16.04-16.84% national figure and North Dakota's own statewide median age -- the clearest genuinely retiree-skewing market of this project's four North Dakota Tier A markets.

Genuinely affordable retirement housing

Jamestown's cited home-value figures ($216,512 average, $161,000 median sale price) offer the most affordable housing of this project's North Dakota markets, a real, meaningful factor for retirees on a fixed income.

Substantial regional healthcare access

Jamestown Regional Medical Center, a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital serving a nine-county region, anchors real, substantial healthcare access for Jamestown retirees.
