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.
