California Elder Economic Security Standard Index By County
The California Elder Economic Security Standard Index (Elder Index) is a new tool that quantifies how much income is needed for a senior with a given living arrangement and geographic location to adequately meet his or her basic needs living in the community. It is the only elder-specific financial measure of its kind, based on credible, publicly available sources and has been calculated for all 58 California Counties.
