8 DOMAINS OF LIVABILITY
The availability and quality of these community features impact the well-being of older adults. The 8 Domains of Livability framework is used by many of the towns, cities, counties and states enrolled in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities to organize and prioritize their work to become more livable for both older residents and people of all ages. While some communities tackle all eight domains at once, others choose to focus on fewer or combined domains.
