Older residents are an important economic entity that may not be fully appreciated by the community in which they reside. “Seniors” are often portrayed as a drain on local healthcare systems, a dangerous addition to local roadways, a net drain on local resources, and carry the stigma of living on fixed incomes. These perceptions may be more acute in geographic areas where seniors tend to migrate when they retire. This study compares demographic profiles of people over the age of 64 that currently reside or have migrated to several traditional tourist destinations. Tourist destinations attract retirees to such an extent that older citizens are a larger proportion of the area’s population and economic base than the average community. The presence of older residents in each community is assumed to enhance the economic activity to a greater degree than local leaders and younger residents may realize. Variables addressed include housing, transportation, sources of income, healthcare, and spending patterns. Results suggest that smaller communities benefit from the presence of older residents to a greater degree than larger, more populated tourist economies.

Historically, the majority of rural people worked on farms. Consequently, rural policies were largely national-level agricultural policies. Those times have long since past. Most farms are in nonmetro areas, but most nonmetro people are not associated with agriculture. At a national level and in major agricultural states, farmer households have a higher level of financial well-being than do other households, on average. However, there are still farmer households that are financially disadvantaged. This paper will provide a conceptual framework that allows for an integrative analysis of farmer and rural households. The framework will be of value in considering the suite of policies affecting persons engaged in the industry of agriculture, the rural disadvantaged, and the vitality of rural places.
