Senior, single, and ready to mingle? These cities are 'great' for older singles, according to the AARP
Fox News
Sometimes Cupid shoots his shot later in life. And he seems to be particularly active in big cities, according to the AARP.
AARP made its determination of what makes a great city for an older single person based on a "livability score" that ranges between 0 and 100, while also taking into account account each city's overall population of seniors (age 65 and older), which may play a role in a retired person's chance of finding love with a fellow single. Also considered were each city's size, location and access to the appropriate healthcare facilities. "The Livability Index can help you figure out which tradeoffs residents are making in each community. For example, some of the places that we may think of as desirable can be socially isolated, or have other challenges that we may not see at first." AARP Public Policy Institute’s Vice President Rodney Harrell told Fox News. "The scores in the Index represent an overall look across 40 metrics to see how each community stacks up, and we also look at public policies to see if community leaders are working to improve on some of those challenges."More Related News
