New York City’s population of older adults, which currently represents 20 percent of the city’s entire population, will grow as the Baby Boomer generation ages. A 2021 CUNY Graduate Center study reports that the population of adults ages 65 and older in New York State will increase 25 percent between 2021 and 2040, compared to just 3 percent growth in the general population. And in New York City alone, the number of older adults is expected to jump 40 percent by 2040, especially as New Yorkers are living longer.
