The time has never been better to embrace a life transition and start envisioning the next chapter for you or for a parent or loved one. The culture of aging is shifting, as more and more older adults reject ageist stereotypes that tell them their later years are a time to withdraw from life and fade away. Instead, people in their 80s, 90s, and even 100s are leaning into life, pursuing their dreams, and leading lives full of passion and purpose.
Data from a recent US Census Bureau Report reveals that those over the age of 85 are actually more likely to move homes than other younger 'seniors.'
- 85+: 8.4% moved locations
- 75-84: 6% moved locations
- 65-74: 5.9% moved locations
While more than half of older adults (58%) elected to move within their same county, it is important to note that those 65+ were more likely to move to an entirely new state than those under the age of 65. And they weren’t just hopping one state over. More than 58% of older adults who decided to pursue their next chapter in a new state moved to an entirely different region of the country!
So, what were the biggest reasons for all these moves?
- Warmer daily climate
- Closer to family
- Seeking housing and neighborhoods to fit their healthcare needs
- Economic advantage
