This report discusses AARP’s effort to define, plan for, and measure livability. Their process began with an extensive review of existing measures and included additional surveys and focus groups to develop a comprehensive and comparable livability index. The report concludes with a conceptual framework that shows the complex web of inputs and relationships that contribute to livability.
