TCRPC/SFRPC Regional Conference: Preparing for the SILVER TSUNAMI

Southeast Florida’s senior population is booming, mirroring national and worldwide trends. Referred to as the “Silver Tsunami,” residents 65 years of age and older are projected to number more than 2.13 million in the seven county region by 2050 - an increase of 65% since 2021. Of these residents, 520,000 will be 85 years of age or older - an increase of 39% by 2050.

Join us as we explore the land use, transportation, healthcare, and economic implications of this generational wave. Southeast Florida’s communities already struggle to support the needs of the region’s elders. As the general population and workforce continues to age and live longer, Southeast Florida’s competitiveness will depend on how we plan for and support seniors, employers, and society. The Silver Tsunami has begun and the wave is accelerating!
