A livable community is one that is safe andsecure, has affordable and appropriate
housing and transportation options, andoffers supportive community features and
services. Once in place, those resourcesenhance personal independence; allow
residents to age in place; and foster residents’engagement in the community’s civic,
economic, and social life.

Key Findings: Home and Community
5AARP.ORG/RESEARCH l © 2018 AARP ALL RIGHTS RESERVED AARP RESEARCH
Adults have a strong desire and likelihood to stay in their home and community as they ageand are making plans to do so, including consideration of alternative housing options. Both thedesire and likelihood to stay in their home and community is even greater among adults age 50and older.
Between 50 and 60 percent of adults age 18-49 say they want to remain in theircommunities and homes as they age, while nearly 80 percent of adults age 50 and olderindicate this same desire.
About one third of adults age 18-49 report they will stay in their current home and nevermove while nearly half of adults age 50 and older say they will never move.
Over 60 percent of all adults own their own homes, and approximately one in threereports that major modifications to their home are needed to accommodate aging needs.
The presence of accessory dwelling units is low, but seven in ten would consider buildingone for a loved one who needs care.
Half of adults already share or would be willing to share a home as they age, with a majorconsideration being if they needed help with daily activities.
The majority of adults would be interested in joining a village to help them stay in theircommunity and are willing to pay an annual fee.

An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU, is a residential unitbuilt on the same lot as an existing single family homeand may be attached or detached to the home. It can becommonly referred to as a “granny flat” or “in-lawquarters.” ADUs provide complete separate livingquarters, including a kitchen and bathroom, that canallow older adults to age in their existing home with live-in care, make it possible for adults to assist their agingparents, other relatives and loved ones, or be used forrental income.
Few currently have accessory dwelling units; however, a thirdwould consider building one.

Ride Share
Ride Share Highlights
Most (84%) adults drive themselves to get around their communities.
Nearly all adults, regardless of age, have heard of ride share services; however, only43 percent have used these services and 55 percent are not likely to use them in thenext year.
Adults age 18-49, Hispanics, LGBT adults, and adults with incomes of $75K or higherreport higher usage of ride share services.
Adults age 50 and older and adults with disabilities are less likely to use ride share inthe next year.
A lack of need for ride share services is the top reason for not using ride share, ascited by 55 percent of adults and this does not differ across age groups.
A secondary reason, among all adults, for not using ride share is concern about theprivacy and safety of their financial information. Additionally, adults age 65 and olderand females cite concern about their personal safety as a deterrent to using rideshare.

Adults want to stay in their communities and homes as they grow older especially whenconsidering life after their working years. People spend years making connections andcommitments to homes, friendships, community organizations, and local social ties within theircommunity. Communities become a source of support and engagement for its residents,particularly older adults who have an even stronger desire to age in place.
Although most adults want to grow old in their communities, many of them do not seethemselves staying in their current environment as they age. Having alternatives like homesharing, accessory dwelling units and villages are things many are willing to consider, andwould give people more choice in how and where they want to age.
Although most adults drive to get around their community the ability to continue driving in lateryears could decline putting one’s health and well-being at risk. Having alternative modes oftransportation, like ride share, is key to ensuring that all residents can continue to have accessto the community supports and services they need. While nearly all adults have heard of rideshare services far fewer are willing to use them, particularly older adults. Educating people onthe benefits and use of ride share services can help people maintain their independence andensure they stay actively engaged in community life.

NORC conducted a total of 1,947interviews of a 23 minute (median) survey that consisted of a nationally representative sample ofadults age 18 and older. The survey was conducted in English and Spanish.
NORC conducted 1,761 interviews online and 186 by telephone for those respondents whopreferred telephone over online. The data were weighted to reflect the U.S. population of adultsage 18 and older. The data were weighted by age, gender, Census region, race/ethnicity, incomeand education. The variables used for weighting were obtained from the 2017 Current PopulationSurvey.
