Network of Age-Friendly Communities

Featured communities are those places that have made a commitment to becoming more livable over time. They include those who have joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. The program encourages states, cities, towns and rural areas to prepare for the rapid aging of the U.S. population by paying increased attention to the environmental, economic and social factors that influence the health and well-being of older adults. Learn more about joining the network.
