According to the New York Academy of Medicine there are over 1 million people 65 and over living in NYC, and by 2040, this number is expected to increase by 40.7%. Soon, NYC will have more older adults than school-aged children. In response to this the Office of the Mayor, the New York City Council, and the New York Academy of Medicine partnered to create Age-friendly NYC in order to assess what is working and what needs to improve for our older adult neighbors throughout NYC.

Have your opinion heard and take this survey . The information that you share is important to help the City Council better serve its diverse communities and make our city’s neighborhoods more inclusive from the perspective of older adults.

Also, get familiar with our local Age-friendly initiatives and contact us to get involved!
