New Study Finds America's Communities Are Not Prepared For An Aging Population

"The Maturing of America - Getting Communities on Track for an Aging Population," a new report led by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) and funded by MetLife Foundation, finds that only 46% of American communities have begun planning to address the needs of the exploding population of aging Baby Boomers. The Baby Boom generation - born between 1946 and 1964 - is rapidly approaching retirement age. When this trend hits its peak in 2030, the number of people over age 65 in the United States will soar to 71.5 million - twice their number in the year 2000- or one in every five Americans.
