Hawaii's Senior Boom: Housing Crisis Looms

About this episode

Hawaiis housing crisis is escalating, with a significant need for nearly sixty thousand new units by 2050 to meet demand, according to a new AARP Hawaii report. The primary driver is an aging population, which will require forty-four thousand homes for seniors aged sixty-five and older by 2035. The senior boom is causing younger islanders to leave, with the twenty-to-thirty age group fleeing at the nations third-worst rate. Honolulu needs the most new units, with forty-eight thousand two hundred ninety-nine, while Kauai faces an eighteen percent jump with five thousand three hundred ninety. Without addressing this gap, Hawaii risks losing its workforce to care for elders and may face long-term community health issues.
