“Now Available: 2019 Profile of Older Americans,” Administration for Community Living

Quote:

“The Profile of Older Americans is an annual summary of the available statistics related to the older population in the United States. Principal sources of data are the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Profile illustrates the shifting demographics of Americans age 65 and older. It includes key topic areas such as income, living arrangements, education, health, and caregiving. This year’s report includes special sections on obesity as well as aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

This is your annual go-to source for demographic data on the aging.
