A recent epidemic, also known to some as the “Silver Tsunami” has brought a great number of retirees and older citizens to Fort Collins. We understand why, Fort Collins is a great place to live!

What is the Silver Tsunami?
Since 2011, 10,000 Baby Boomers per day turn the age of 65! These Boomers are expected to change the definition of retirement by living longer, being more active, spending more and saving less, working until an older age and will do more volunteering than previous generations.

Quick Fact: The population of citizens over the age of 65 in Fort Collins is assumed to grow over 140% in the next 20 years! (The City of Fort Collins)
