A dramatically older population than North Dakota statewide

Langdon's own senior (65+) share (24%-26.8%, a real, disclosed cross-source spread) runs clearly, dramatically above North Dakota's own ~17.3% statewide anchor on either bound, and Langdon's median age (49.1 years) runs 13.1 years above the state's own 36.0-year figure -- among the largest such margins in this project's own Tier B dataset (base record).

Genuine housing affordability for a fixed income, across a wide range

Langdon's home-value figures ($144,710-$260,537) both run below the national comparison figure, though this record discloses the real, wide spread retirees should confirm directly against specific listings (base record).

North Dakota's real, favorable tax picture for retirees, with a local property-tax caveat

North Dakota's real, lowest-in-the-nation 2.50% top marginal income tax rate benefits retirees, though Langdon's own local property tax rate (~1.4% average) runs meaningfully above both national and ND statewide comparison figures -- the highest in this project's own four-market ND cohort (base record).

A real, small-town healthcare scale to weigh

Cavalier County Memorial Hospital's real, cited 22-bed facility offers meaningful local care, but retirees needing frequent specialist access should confirm travel distance to larger regional facilities directly (base record).
