Principal data sources are the u.s Census bureau, the national center for health statistics, and the bureau of labor statistics This report includes data on americans 65 and older unless otherwise noted The phrases “older adults” and “older people” refer to that population While these numbers have risen steadily across the decades, increases have been particularly dramatic since 2000, and have been markedly larger for older women than for other groups, including all workers and older male workers. For more than 50 years, the older americans act (oaa) has connected older adults and their caregivers to services that help older adults age with health, dignity and independence in their homes and communities—where they want to be!
To make rental housing more affordable for older adults, the city’s department of finance administers the senior citizen rent increase exemption (scrie) program for eligible tenants 62 and older with a combined household income of $50,000 or less by freezing their rent at the current level. It provides information on the age structure of the population 65 years and over at both national and subnational levels
