Fullerton’s cost of living is 58% higher than the national median and about 10% higher than the state average, but it’s lower than the overall cost of living for the Los Angeles metro region. While state income taxes are relatively high, seniors don’t pay state taxes on their Social Security benefits, providing significant savings for those who rely primarily on this form of income.
