MN Senior Facts

State Facts
About 1/4 of the Como Park neighborhood population is 65+ according to the 2010 District Council Demographic Charts, and the demand for our services is only growing in importance. The Minnesota Department of Human Services has conducted a survey of the MN boomer populations. Here are some important facts that support the importance of our program.
  • 51% of boomers have lived in the same community for more than 20 years.
  • A majority of boomers (52%) plan to stay in their current home an additional 10 years or more.
  • 31% indicated that they plan to stay in the same community for 20 or more years.
  • 27% reported that they plan to remain in their home for an additional 20 years or more.
  • We can expect that most boomers residing in their community will remain. 
  • Since most boomers are homeowners, they will likely be invested in the health of their block, neighborhood, and city.
  • The most important “senior housing” option for older adults is the option to stay in their current home.
  • Home maintenance and chore programs will be increasingly important.
  • Caregiving will be a growing issue as families struggle to care for an increasing number of older relatives.
  • Most families cannot afford formal long-term care and try to provide assistance until they reach a “tipping point.”
