"If you aren't being kept up at night by the impending silver tsunami, then you aren't paying attention," said Broward County Commissioner Steve Geller, highlighting urgent concerns.
"Florida already leads the U.S. in the concentration of older adults living there, with more than 18% of its total population comprised of residents 65 and older," indicating the significant demographic shift.
Laura Streed from AARP noted that by 2034, people who are 65 and older will outnumber those younger, underscoring a demographic turning point for communities.
By 2050, nearly 1.4 million people who are at least 65 will reside in South Florida, revealing the scale of the approaching demographic change.
