AAA National Survey

Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) are the backbone of community-based support for older adults and caregivers in local communities across America. The 2025 AAA National Survey, with responses from 72 percent of the nation's AAAs, reveals how these vital organizations are adapting to serve a rapidly growing older adult population with increasingly complex needs. 

Conducted regularly since 2007, the comprehensive AAA National Survey captures important Aging Network trends and adaptations. The survey Chartbook, social media toolkit, fact sheets and other related resources provide information for AAAs, policy makers, researchers, and other stakeholders to understand the evolving role of AAAs, benchmark services and advocate for funding or service needs.

The Chartbook and resources below can help you tell the story of your AAA—and how AAAs across the country support the health and well-being of older adults.

This initiative is implemented by USAging with funding from the U.S. Administration for Community Living and in partnership with Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University in Oxford, OH.
 

Survey Chartbook 

The 2025 Chartbook provides comprehensive data on AAA budgets, staffing, core service delivery, populations served and how AAAs are addressing broader community needs. It highlights both the critical role of AAA services and supports in helping older adults age in place and the urgent need for increased investment to meet growing demand. 

Cover of USAging’s 2025 Chartbook. The cover features the USAging logo and the title “2025 Chartbook.” A collage of three photos shows older adults receiving community-based support, including people walking outdoors, an accessible transportation service user exiting a vehicle in a wheelchair, and older adults participating in a group activity. The cover includes purple, blue, and yellow geometric design elements and the subtitle, “AAAs Respond to Complex Community Needs: Trends and New Directions From the National Survey of Area Agencies on Aging.”

NEW! State Data Reports

The State Data Reports showcase state-level data alongside national figures for states that achieved 75 percent response rate or higher. 

To help you share these findings more broadly, USAging has also developed a sample press release template and sample social media posts that you can customize to highlight your state's data and raise awareness among media, policymakers, community partners and other stakeholders.
