		<description><![CDATA[As regular readers of this blog know, I have an unhealthy interest in migratory patterns of seniors. A recent article in the Journals of Gerontology (Volume 65B #5, November 2010) focuses on elderly migration in the US over the period from 1970 to 2000, specifically, on interstate migration. The article compares migration trends based on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the United States, where they have a quaint habit of collecting reliable data that sheds light on matters of interest and importance to their society (unlike Canada, where we consider this practice outrageously intrusive), data from the 2009 American Housing Survey have just been released.
For the 65+ group, the most common reason for moving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conventional wisdom suggests that for supportive seniors’ housing projects (meals, housekeeping, laundry etc), walking-distance proximity to stores and services is, if not essential, then at the very least extremely important.

		<description><![CDATA[Understanding disability rates and how they affect housing market behavior, in particular moves to supportive housing or assisted living, is a very difficult thing to do. Statistics Canada tells us that 43% of the 65+ population in Canada have some degree of disability, primarily mobility, agility, pain, or hearing. Of those with disabilities, 60% are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people (myself included) share the view that disability rates among the seniors’ population have been declining. For example, here’s a headline from a National Association of Aging document dated May, 2001: Dramatic Decline in Disability Continues for Older Americans. And what’s the evidence? Between 1994 and 1999, the percentage of Americans over the age [...]]]></description>
