The AARP Livability Index™ Categories Explained
The AARP Livability Index platform relies on multiple, interconnected metrics and policies from trusted, high-quality sources to determine how communities succeed as measured by 61 indicators across seven categories of livability: housing, neighborhood, transportation, environment, health, engagement and opportunity. These seven fact sheets spotlight some of the key metrics the Livability Index uses in each of the categories to score and rank neighborhoods and communities across the country.
