The increasing financial disparities in the ‘Forgotten Middle’

Experts from NORC at the University of Chicago discuss with McKnight’s Senior Living Editor Lois A. Bowers the increasing financial disparities among members of the “Forgotten Middle” — middle-income older adults whose resource status puts them at risk of not being able to afford senior housing and care as they age — and what they mean for senior living providers. New research finds that a growing number of Black and Hispanic middle-income older adults may not be able to afford housing and healthcare in the next decade, and middle-income older adults who live in rural areas face challenges as well.
