Aging in Place
• Americans want to age in place.
• Communities
will have to
adapt.
![Page 4: Ppt black 2014 july 24 age-wave_creating aging-friendly communities workshop_ bayfield and ashland counties wi](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a7064a1a28ab44348b4851/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How prepared are our communities for the impacts of a rapidly aging population?
10,000 Americans
are turning 65 every
day…a trend that
will continue for the
next 20 years!

2005 National Survey of 10,000 Communities
National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) and the MetLife Foundation
What percentage of
communities in the
United States have
started to plan for the
impacts of population
aging?
![Page 6: Ppt black 2014 july 24 age-wave_creating aging-friendly communities workshop_ bayfield and ashland counties wi](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a7064a1a28ab44348b4851/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Finding:
Fewer than 46% of
communities have
begun to assess their
“aging-readiness”
and prepare for the
impacts of an aging
population.

2010 Follow-Up Survey
Reported that…
“only limited progress in advancing the goal of preparing for an aging population. Many communities are struggling just to maintain the status quo.”

• Baby boomers started turning 65 in January 2011.
Approximately 10,000 of them turn 65 every day — and this will continue for the next 20 years!
• 2030: 65+ projected to be 72 million people (20% of population.)
• 2050: 65+ projected to be 80 to 90 million people and those age 85+ close to 21 million
