Description
Cassidy, Cohen, and Jensen introduce a symposium on place-based factors in rural aging in a 2024 paper. Older adults make up a larger share of rural areas than of the nation as a whole. Yet research on rural aging has many gaps.
Five projects in the symposium span social and health sciences. Topics include where aging services sit on the map, assets and barriers for aging in place, and caregiver experience in rural versus urban areas. Other work compares health gaps in Wyoming and Mississippi and weighs claims data against survey data. The authors stress that rurality is not one trait. Its many parts shape needs, care access, and policy choices.
