Living the Good Life in Tampa/St. Pete: A Survey of Residents Age 50 ... Livable Communities
Results of this survey show that most residents in Tampa and St. Petersburg age 50 to 64 love where they live and are enjoying the local offerings of the region. While there are a few differences among residents in this cohort depending on which city they call home, the more defining attributes are related to mindset and engagement. Residents who view the Tampa/St Pete area as one larger community and who travel between the cities regularly are more likely to view living in the area more positively than those who live a more insulate life in their home city. The challenge to policy makers is to identify ways to draw out these more isolated individuals so they too can begin to enjoy the region as well as the rest of their contemporaries. KEY FINDINGS

Most residents age 50 to 64 in both Tampa and St. Pete strongly agree that they have opportunities to do a lot of different things in the area and are content with their current level of involvement with their local community.
