Boomer Segment of the Population
Did you know this? That Baby Boomers make up 28 percent of the population in the United States? Wow. That is a whole lot of older folks.
A recent study asked people in this age group about their retirement plans. One-third planned to move when they became empty nesters, and over half plan to move when they retire, or by the age of 55. Half of those questioned have no idea where they will settle, whereas the other half were almost equally divided into those who were interested in living in active adult communities (26%) and those who were not (24%).
Of those who favor an adult community, most want to live in a 55+ community that is multi-generational, whereas people age 59-70 do not consider this a priority. One-third are interested in an active-adult community located in an urban area, and another one-third are seeking a more natural setting. Some are seeking smaller communities, or setting more similar to country clubs, and many are interested in living without cold winters. Most Baby Boomers say that when they move they will seek a home that is smaller and is easier to maintain, such as those found in adult communities, or condominiums, where property maintenance is included in the ownership fees.
Interesting statistics, aren't they.
