AARP URGES UNIVERSAL DESIGN AND INCLUSIVE HOMES
The Pew Research Center adds credence to the thought that housing and communities must become more age friendly while having more entry points for younger people rebuffed by the lack of affordable housing.
Pew reported
that the number of Americans ages 100 and older is projected to more than
quadruple over the next three decades, from an estimated 101,000 in 2024 to
about 422,000 in 2054, according to census projections.
At the same
time, Pew found that young adults in the United States are reaching key life
milestones later than in the past.
“Adults who
are 21 are less likely than their predecessors four decades ago to have reached
five frequently cited milestones of adulthood: having a full-time job, being
financially independent, living on their own, getting married and having a
child.”
