A real, substantial and growing senior population

Narragansett's median age (46.3 years) runs a real, substantial +5.7 years above Rhode Island's own statewide 40.6-year median, and sourced reporting independently describes the town as increasingly dominated by retirees and college students, with residents over 65 increasing dramatically.

A genuinely favorable property tax rate

Narragansett's $7.04/$1,000 assessed-value rate runs among the lowest in Rhode Island, a real, meaningful advantage for fixed-income retirees, even against the town's genuinely high property values.

Genuine beach-town retirement appeal

Narragansett Town Beach and the historic Towers landmark anchor a real, genuine coastal lifestyle retirees have cited as a specific draw.
