L.A. is one of the few municipalities in the world with a 'purposeful aging' initiative, highlighting the importance placed on resources and experiences for older residents.

The increase in L.A. County's median age, rising 2.6 years from 2012 to 2022, emphasizes the growing demographic significance of older residents in the community.
