Purposeful Aging

The older adult population (65 years and above) in the Los Angeles region will double between 2010 and 2030, from approximately 1.1 million to more than 2.2 million people. To prepare our region for this dramatic demographic shift, the County and City of Los Angeles launched Purposeful Aging Los Angeles (PALA), a landmark initiative that unites public and private resources, ideas and strategies.

Our older adult population in the Los Angeles region is already larger than the older adult population of 41 states and will double between 2010 and 2030.

Purposeful Aging Los Angeles (PALA) will prepare the Los Angeles region for this rapid change through an innovative initiative that unites the County and the City of Los Angeles, other cities, public and private resources, ideas and strategies.

PALA’s goal is to make the Los Angeles region the most age-friendly in the world. To get there we need your help! Your input will be used to develop an Age-Friendly Plan for our region. The confidential PALA Survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and can be filled out by anyone 18 years of age or older who resides in the County or City of Los Angeles.
