STATE OF AGING REPORT

Research shows that older adults are the fastest-growing demographic in Central Indiana, as approximately 24,000 adults turn 55 and 22,000 turn 60 each year. By the year 2030, one in every five Hoosiers will be over the age of 65. To enhance the ability of older adults to live and thrive in Central Indiana, it is important to understand the population trends, notable changes, and basic needs of this growing demographic.

“The data within this report is monumental in how it will influence not just Central Indiana Senior Fund but all organizations that serve our seniors,” said Jim Leich, chair of the advisory board for Central Indiana Senior Fund at CICF. “Having the knowledge of how place, race and identity impact the ability to connect our older adults to resources will empower us to find and support solutions that are centered in equity.”
