Where are seniors living alone?

This map shows where seniors ages 65 and over living alone from the American Community Survey (ACS) by 5 year estimates. Data is available in state, county, and tract geographies. Size is denoted by population count of 65+ adults living alone while color is the percent of 65+ adults living alone out of total population 18+ in households. This map uses these hosted feature layers containing the most recent American Community Survey data.  These layers are part of ArcGIS Living Atlas, and are updated every year when the American Community Survey releases new estimates, so values in the map always reflect the newest data available.  Learn more about the layer use in this map by viewing the layer here.
