Learn how SimCity 2000 hospitals increase life expectancy and how many you need for your Sims. Costs $500 each.

Hospitals in SimCity 2000 are crucial buildings that help increase the overall life expectancy (LE) of your Sims. Unlike police and fire stations, a hospital's effectiveness is determined by the number of Sims it can treat, not its location. This means you can cluster all your hospitals together, and they will still serve your population effectively. You should aim to build one hospital for approximately every 25,000 Sims. Be aware that if your hospitals become overcrowded, their performance will decrease, leading to a decline in your Sims' life expectancy.

Cost: $500 per hospital.

Maintenance: $50 per year per hospital.

Size: 3x3 tiles.

Tips
  • Place hospitals strategically to handle your growing population, as overcrowding reduces their effectiveness.
  • Monitor your city's population to ensure you have enough hospitals to maintain a high life expectancy for your Sims.
