Adults 65+ with an Independent Living Difficulty

Measurement Period: 2018-2022
Filter: none (all Census Places)
This indicator shows the percentage of the population aged 65 years and over with an independent living difficulty.

Why is this important?

People with an independent living difficulty encounter challenges performing instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) due to a physical, mental, or emotional condition. Examples of IADLs include grocery shopping or visiting a doctor's office alone. Older adults may have more difficulty accessing food or health services due to inability to drive or navigate public transportation, physical limitations (walking, reaching, lifting, etc.), and financial limitations. Without assistance, older people with an independent living difficulty may not be able to successfully perform daily activities and can experience a decline in quality of life.
