Product Description:

This paper uses data from the Health and Retirement Study and American Community Survey to examine whether characteristics of the social, economic, and physical environment are associated with well-being of Americans aged 51 and older who are facing functional decline. We discuss implications as they relate to understanding how functional decline may be experienced differently for older adults across different types of places and what this may mean about the experience of disability.
