Colorado Counties Having Tremendous Influx of Retirees

Three Colorado counties – Douglas, Park and Summit – were among seven across the country that saw the number of their senior residents double between 1990 and 2000, according to a census report, “65+ in the United States,” released Thursday.

The increase of retirees in a community can be a huge benefit but also add the costs to the community if they are not prepared. The old saw that you retire to Florida or Arizona is no longer as many folks are heading to the communities where their children and and grandchildren live.

I live in a community like this and it is a nice blend. There are subdivisions that are dedicated to senior living. The homes are designed with aging in place and are very well appointed.

“Some places are seeing a rapid increase in the age of their populations because (younger) families are leaving,” said Richard Suzman, director of the behavioral and social research program at the National Institute on Aging, which commissioned the report. “In other (places), retirees are moving to be closer to their children and grandchildren.”
The other counties where the senior population doubled during the 1990s were Nye, Nev.; Sumter, Fla.; and James City and Prince William, both in Virginia. via the  DenverPost.com
