Older adults outlive their ability to
drive between 7-10 years.
Older adults represent
disproportionate share of
pedestrian fatalities in 35 states.
Isolation and loneliness present
health risks equivalent to
smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Isolation is associated with a
50% percent increased risk of
dementia.
Older adults represent more than
20% of population,
but only 4% of park users.
Parks serving people of color are
half the size (and 5x as crowded),
which increases temps. Older
adults represent a disproportionate
share of heat-related deaths.
Over half of all HH are 1- or 2-persons,
but more than 85% of housing stock is 2,
3, 4 or more bedrooms.
The share of 65+ renters who are
rent-burdened increased from
43% in 2001 to 50% in 2015.
Less than 1% of US homes are built
with universal design in mind.
