A survey in 2024 found that three quarters of older U.S. adults aged 50 years and older strongly or somewhat agreed that they would really like to reside in their current residence for as long as possible. Meanwhile, those aged 65 years or older were even more likely to report wanting to age in their current residence, with eight in ten saying so.
