Growth of the Oldest Old Population and Future Implications for Rural Areas

Author

  • Rogers, Carolyn C.

Abstract

The older population has been growing and aging rapidly, with the fastest growing segment being the oldest old—those 85 and older. This segment of the older population increased 37 percent between 1980 and 1990. The oldest old are more likely to be women, to be in poor health, to live alone, and to be poor. This article examines recent changes in the oldest old population by residence and considers implications for the future.
