We are experiencing unprecedented change.

The number of people over the age of 60 in the US is expected to more than double between 2000 and 2040. Here in Boulder County, older adults will account for over 25 percent of the total county population by 2040 – an increase from 15 percent in 2012.

Changing demographics and life preferences and experiences of older adults are altering how we do business, how we make policy decisions, and even how we design our built environment.

It is imperative that we all recognize the challenges we face – and opportunities we have – to ensure that every person can age as well as possible in Boulder County now and into the future.

This is why we gather data and generate solutions from our communities for the development of the Age Well Boulder County Strategic Plan.
