The Member List
Four states, one territory, 403 communities nationwide — and counting!
Membership in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities does not mean AARP is endorsing any of the following municipalities as a place to live. Nor does it mean the community or state listed is currently "age-friendly."
Nearly 100 million people live in a town, city, county, territory or state that has enrolled in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.
What membership does means is that the community's elected leadership has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city, county or state a great place to live for people of all ages. (Thus far, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands have enrolled as state or territory members.)
Age-Friendly communities are inclusive and considerate of the perspectives of all residents, of all ages, and all persuasions.
Age-Friendly communities encourage and benefit from diverse citizen engagement by including residents in a process to identify the community’s needs, and develop and implement an action plan to address those needs.
Participation in the network involves following a multi-step process of improvement. A link to a community's age-friendly action plan and progress reports appear in the lists below if those steps in the improvement process have been reached.
- If a community has been featured on AARP.org/Livable (this website) in some way, such links are marked with an * in our State-by-State Archive.
- For questions, please write to Livable@AARP.org. For easy access to this page, bookmark or visit AARP.org/AgeFriendly.
