We know that the economy of tomorrow is based on investments made today. Correspondingly, we also know that the health of a community can be measured by the availability of quality healthcare services that meet the changing needs of its population as it ages.
The average age of Arizona’s population is continuously increasing as the influx of “snow birds” and baby boomers leaving the workforce seek out warmer climates for their communities of choice. To ensure the quality of life we experience today carries into tomorrow, it is important that our city is resilient and able to meet these market force trends so that we have the capacity to adapt, grow and prosper in this complex and ever-changing marketplace.
Glendale is what economic development professionals refer to as a full-service community. The city also boasts a healthy representation of all age groups. Noteworthy, is that our active adult category (age 55+), at 52,621 residents based on the most recent American Community Survey, accounts for nearly 22-percent of Glendale’s total population.
