To examine whether U.S. homes are prepared for an aging population, this report uses data from the 2019 American Housing Survey (AHS) to show the number of housing units with select aging-accessible features. It examines the number of households with older adults who have difficulty using some feature of their home and how their demographic and economic characteristics differ from those who report no difficulty. The report also looks at older adults’ beliefs and expectations about aging in place. Do older adults think their home meets their aging-accessibility needs and do they plan to renovate in the near future to prepare their home for those needs?
