Senior & Disability Services
Did you know?
- The population of the United States is rapidly aging.
- By 2030, one of every five people in the U.S. will be 65 or older.
- By 2035, the number of adults older than 65 will be greater than the number of children under 18.
(ARP, 601 E Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20049 | AARP.org Copyright © 2020 | AARP is a registered trademark | All rights reserved) - The World Health Organization says that 15% of the world’s population lives with an impairment or disability.
- As the world’s population increases more people will live in cities. This means more people with disabilities will be living in cities.
- As cities grow in size, we need to think about how they are built and who they are for.
- People with disabilities are young, old, women, men, and of every race and ethnicity.
- Inclusive cities think about people’s diversity and break down barriers.
