Our next segment is on the rapidly aging population in metro Atlanta. Today, roughly 18.5 percent of the U.S. population is over 60, which is compared to 16.3 percent a decade ago. By 2020, the percentage is expected to be at 22.2 and at 25 percent by 2050. Atlanta comes in at number 46 on the list of top 51 fastest aging metros with 13.8 percent of our population presently over 60. These growing numbers mean that home buyers can expect to see more active adult communities such as the ones from Jim Chapman, Del Webb, Windsong, The Orchards Group and Cresswind being built as well as more homes designed for aging in place.
For more information on the nation’s fastest aging metros and their impact on the economy and housing market, read the New Geography report.
