A recently released study shows that less than half of the nation's communities are preparing for the growing ranks of the aging population in America.
By 2030, nearly one in five Americans -- 71.5 million people -- will be over age 65. How prepared are America’s cities and counties to meet the needs of an aging baby boomer population? The Maturing of America -- Getting Communities on Track for an Aging Population, the most comprehensive report ever on the aging-readiness of America, finds that less than half of American cities and counties have plans in place to meet the needs of aging baby boomers.
The report was funded by MetLife Foundation, and led by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, International City County Management Association, National League of Cities, National Association of Counties and Partners for Livable Communities. In addition to the survey findings, the report makes recommendations to help prepare for an aging population and suggests ways to leverage the talent of older Americans.
