AS DEMAND TO AGE IN PLACE SOARS, SENIOR CITIZENS ARE SEEKING MORE WALKABILITY AND DIVERSE HOUSING TYPES

A TREND THAT ALSO SERVES PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OF ALL AGES


There is an ongoing trend in America of people moving from rural to urban areas.

 

The trend toward more livable cities with more amenities within walking distance is a huge improvement in quality of life for people with disabilities.

 

Premium public transit, wide sidewalks, safe crosswalks and the ability to meet all daily needs without requiring an $80,000 lift-equipped wheelchair van is a huge asset to people who use assistive mobility devices.

 

US census and respected data sources indicate between one in four or one in five Americans who will experience some level of disability that impacts their daily lives.
