Once a safe city, Parkland lost its status after the school shooting back in February 2018. Regardless of the safety and quality of life, it has also been an expensive place to live in anyway. The cost of living index in Parkland is 154.3, which means living here is 54% more expensive than the state average. The area is simply a bad place to retire also because it gets visited by hurricanes frequently. Since 1930, the area has recorded a total of 83 hurricanes. The largest of these hurricanes was Hurricane Frances in 2004. Also, only 12.9% of the population is 65 or older, which means there are fewer seniors to socialize with.
