About the Respondents

“Senior respondents” refers to all respondents aged 65 and over. These responses can be further subdivided into two groups: 65-74 year olds and respondents over 75.

Nearly one-third of all respondents over age 75 live alone; two-thirds live with one other person; for 65-74 year olds, 72% live with one other person, while 19% live alone.
