Abstract
This article examines regional mobility and concentration of the elderly population and analyzes their impact on local services in the United States. Regional relocation of the elderly to the South and West has been occurring among the younger elderly since the 1960s and among the older elderly since the 1970s. Analysis indicates a lag in the process of locating services in areas of expected demand. The implications of this study for future research and planning strategies are discussed.Keywords
