Livable Communities
AARP Works for Livable Communities
Although intended for the older population, these resources will be helpful to all survivors of a TBI or stroke who want to evaluate the communities where they currently live and/or identify more compatible neighborhoods.
This online tool scores every U.S. community and neighborhood across seven categories of livability:
Housing
Neighborhood
Transportation
Environment
Health
Engagement
Opportunity
