We live and work in Eastern Sussex County, Delaware, where more than 37 percent of the population is now over the age of 50! As Baby Boomers retire, that percentage will only grow, and the impact on both new and existing housing will be significant. Nationally, 78 million Americans are over age 50 and 34.5 million are over age 65, according to the 2000 Census.
We are not getting any younger. Many Baby Boomers are now helping parents make decisions about how and where they will live as they age. It's making us think - How do we want to live when we reach our parents’ age?
