AARP Eye Center
The AARP Livable Communities Map is a free, interactive tool that shares all of this information in a way that is helpful to other organizations as they are looking for ways to make their own community improvements. We encourage you to use this new tool! You can visit the AARP Livable Communities website where you can read an article about the new features. Try to find your community on the map or see where they land on the livability index.
Recently, the Map has been updated with several new features designed to provide more information about the work being done by organizations nationwide. Designed to spur action across the country by highlighting replicable actions and work taken, visitors can use the interactive map to look for ways to make their own community improvements.
You can utilize the search and filter functions to narrow profiles down by state, county, or city; population size range; year of work; livability topic; grant project category; organization name; or keyword.
Hundreds of towns, cities and counties throughout the nation have enrolled in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities (NAFSC) or received a quick-action AARP Community Challenge grant. Each of these organizations have unique experiences, lessons learned, and valuable insights they have picked up along the way as they work to make their communities more livable for people of all ages. Over 2,000 profiles on the Map share ways that AARP Community Challenge grantees and NAFSC members have worked to make community improvements in topics like public places; transportation; housing; civic engagement; digital connections; and more.
