Demographics Profile and Summary
The service area of the Olympic Area Agency on Aging (O3A)I is home to approximately 185,500 people widely dispersed over the rugged mountainous terrain of the Olympic peninsula. The entire service region is considered to be rural, with an average of 32 people per square mile.
The Olympic peninsula has become a significant retirement destination, owing to a natural environment which offers recreational and lifestyle choices that are attracting increasingly large numbers of baby boomers heading into their retirement years. Life expectancy for these elders has increased dramatically, thanks to the remarkable improvements in education, medicine, nutrition and general living standards of the last century. Individuals who reach the age of 60 today can expect to live almost 25 more years.
