The proportion of individuals who are60 and older has been on a gradual rise over the last 20 years and will continue through 2050.

Based on 2022 estimates from the Penn State Data Center, of the! 56,173 residents aged 60 and older 3,665 (6.52%), are living below the poverty line. Many older adults are struggling with rising! health care and housing costs, insufficient nutrition, access to transportation and declining savings, especially those 85 and older. Older seniors are more vuinerable to financial risk, in that they are more likely to have lower earnings, exhaust retirement assets, and incur greater medical costs. Fortunately, Butler County has a strong networkof community support, including Human Services, faith-based organizations, and nonprofit agencies to dffers support when needed. For older adults living independently in the community, living alone can addistress and challenges that individuals residing with a spouse or other family member often do not face Issues regarding social isolation have become especially apparent for this group during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the U.S. Census 2022, 5-year estimates, approximately 12.7% of Butier County residents live  alone. Residents aged 65 and older make up 5.2% of that population.

The percentage of the population of those 60 and older has increased slightly over the last several years.

These factors will require a shift in! how services for older adults are provided and funded.

Both internal and external stakeholder options were. sought afterduring the three-month assessment period.
