Learn moreA demographic profile close to the statewide average
Brandon's cited median age (36.7) and 65+ population share (10.0%-14.23% across sources) run close to or below South Dakota's own statewide figures (~37.7-38.5 median age, per south-dakota.js) -- this record does not apply a RETIREE_POPULATION tag here.
South Dakota's real, favorable statewide tax structure still applies
No state individual income tax applies fully to Brandon retirees, alongside the town's own established suburban amenities and proximity to Sioux Falls's major healthcare systems.
Sioux Falls's major hospital systems sit nearby
Brandon's immediate proximity to Sioux Falls means retirees have convenient access to Sanford Health and Avera Health's substantial specialized-care facilities.
