Abstract:

This project explored the relationship between age-restricted neighborhoods and baby boomers’ local travel habits. Ostensibly designed for older adult lifestyle preferences, age-restricted neighborhoods might influence physical and/or social activity among residents, leading to healthier lifestyles. We examine this possibility, focusing on recreational walk/bike and local social trip-making among “leading edge” baby boomers (age 55–64 during data collection in 2008): comparing age-restricted neighborhoods in suburban Boston with nearby non-age restricted neighborhoods; and assessing the effects of neighborhoods’ physical characteristics. That is, we test two potential sources of behavioral effects: those arising from social (and other unobserved) characteristics of age-restricted neighborhoods and those resulting from particular physical attributes.
