Toward More Livable Communities: 2025 AARP Livability Index Reveal

The 2025 AARP Livability Index^TM platform marks a decade of national progress in building age-friendly, livable communities. This year’s release highlights the latest updates to the platform, including new livability scores, data and site features, and provides a comprehensive look at how communities are addressing ongoing housing and transportation challenges and the need for amenities, services that support residents of all ages, incomes, and abilities.

The discussion will highlight findings on the nation’s top performing places, providing a clear view of trends, priorities, and opportunities for the continuing effort to create communities where residents can thrive. Local leaders will also share experiences using community data to inform planning, guide decision-making, and address the unique needs of their neighborhoods.
