AARP Presents Financial Security Trends
AARP’s latest survey releases trends on how adults age 30+ view their financial situation, including their ability to cover expenses, manage their debt, and build savings for emergencies and for retirement. This survey includes oversamples of Hispanic and Black Adults. Key findings indicate one in three adults age 30+ consider their financial situation is worse today than it was 12 months ago.
Speaker: Indira Venkat, Senior Vice President, AARP Research

This seminal report from the National Academy of Medicine co-sponsored by AARP proposes an achievable global vision of healthy longevity by 2050. Learn why the possibilities of a world focused on the health of older adults is an asset for nations and societies. The study underscores that the U.S. and countries around the world need to build institutions to create well-being across the full and extended life course.

New and Improved 2022 AARP Livability Index
This groundbreaking tool scores every neighborhood and community in the U.S. for the services and amenities that affect people’s lives the most as they age. In 2022, the Index was updated with a redesigned, easier-to-use interface, new data, and livability scores, and the 2022 lists of top scoring communities in the U.S. Through a new collaboration with AARP, the National Association of Realtors is using AARP’s Livability Index to help homeowners make informed housing decisions that best support their needs.
