xxx, 465 pages : 29 cm, \"Today, concerns about the financial stability of Social Security, trends in disability, health care costs, and the supply of caregivers are all driven by the coming explosion of the population over the age of sixty-five. Aging in America focuses on the economic and demographic portrait of seniors and provides a context for analyzing broader population issues. It provides key information on a variety of topics for the older population, including age, race, educational attainment, living arrangements, veteran status, employment, income, health insurance, disability, and housing characteristics. This second edition of Aging in America provides updated one-year estimates from the American Community Survey to provide data for all areas with a population of 65,000 or more. Each subject area includes data for the United States, the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the following: more than 800 counties, over 500 metropolitan/micropolitan statistical areas and cities, and all 435 congressional districts listed numerically by state. In addition, each part is preceded by highlights, maps, and/or summary tables that show how areas diverge from the national norm, as well as the differences among areas. These research aids are invaluable for helping people understand what the census data tell us about who we are, what we do, and where we live.\" --, Revised edition of Aging in America, 2014, Includes bibliographical references and index, Introduction -- Understanding the American community survey -- Using the ACS -- Accessing ACS data online -- More ACS resources -- Population summary -- Age structure -- Race and ethnicity -- Household relationship -- Educational attainment and veteran status -- Employment and labor force status -- Income and poverty -- Disability status and type -- Health insurance coverage and type of insurance -- Housing summary
