EP: 229 - How Livable Is Your Neighborhood? Find Out with AARP's Index

from This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World Podcast with Dr. MELISSA BATCHELOR · host Dr. Melissa Batchelor

By 2030, adults over 65 will outnumber children in the U.S., yet only one percent of homes meet basic accessibility standards. What does that mean for the future of aging in our communities? In this episode, AARP's Shannon Guzman explains why most neighborhoods weren't built with aging in mind and how we can change that. We explore the AARP Livability Index, a tool that measures how communities support aging well through housing, transportation, health, and more. From policy shifts to everyday improvements, this conversation offers a roadmap for building communities where people of all ages can thrive.
