A TREND THAT ALSO SERVES PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OF ALL AGES
America is aging.
In 1950, fewer than 8 percent of
Americans were age 65 and older.
By 2030, AARP data analysis predicts
one in five Americans will be 65 or older.
For those older Americans, including
throngs of Baby Boomers retiring each day, the golden years dream is no longer
an isolated villa in a golf cart-using, age-restricted community.
More than three out of four people age
65 and older want to age in a community that is walkable, compact, diverse,
well-served by transit and filled with a mix of uses including healthcare,
shopping, parks, conveniences, libraries and education, job and volunteering
opportunities.
