    AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) The Magazine’s Location Scout is not really about location scouting for film / television or photo but rather, finding a suitable place to live, based on a number of of different criteria. So this is yet ANOTHER kind of location scouting ;)

    That said, AARP Magazine’s Location Scout could still be used in some measure by a location scout or producer to help pinpoint some aspects of a geographic location that might lend that themselves toward determining the most suitable place to use as a location for a given production.

    In any case and if nothing else, the AARP Magazine’s Location Scout is a fun read and presents some food for thought regarding one’s own lifestyle preferences.

    For instance, if you…

  • go to the AARP Magazine Location Scout front page and use the “Start Now” link, you are transported to a page with the heading “Climate / Locale” and presented with a number of options to chose from based on Climate preferences.
  • Next you are asked which Area of the United States you would prefer to live in.
  • Next you are asked three questions regarding Housing: (affordability), (price appreciation), (availability of senior housing options - it IS the AARP, after all), (property tax rates), (utility costs) and (housing starts)
  • Work preferences - (low unemployment), (high job growth), (overall income tax rates), (sales tax rates), (cost of living) and (taxes on pensions)
  • Arts, Culture & Lifestyle - availability of… (museums and galleries), (dining options), (performing arts), (libraries), (internet access)
  • Recreation - (presence of professional sports teams), (boating, surfing, sailing), (river or inland lake), (outdoors / national parks), (golf courses)
  • Transportation - (commuting), (mass transit), (airport(s)
  • Health - (affordability of medical and dental care), (quantity of physicians), (air quality), availability of… (nursing homes), (home care options), (meals on wheels), (geriatric medical specialists), (on-demand medical transportation)
  • Education - (level of spending per student), (high graduation rates), (cultural and intellectual opportunities), (range of school options)
  • Then you get your results!
