State of Aging, Disability, & Family Caregiving
in Allegheny County - December 2022

UCSUR

Understanding the characteristics of Allegheny County’s aging and disabled residents is critical to planning for a healthy and prosperous future for our region. While the broad demographics of our population being older with more prevalent disability than other U.S. counties is well-known, current detail on the perspectives of these individuals, their unmet needs, and racial and gender disparities is lacking. Information on vulnerable sub-groups and key issues like housing, workforce participation, transportation, retirement savings, and access to healthcare and social supports is essential to informed program planning, policymaking, and resource allocation. 

This report details findings from the 2022 State of Aging, Disability, and Family Caregiving in Allegheny County project, funded by the Henry L. Hillman Foundation. The study was conducted by the University Center for Social & Urban Research (UCSUR), National Rehabilitation Research & Training Center on Family Support (NCFS), and the Health Policy Institute (HPI) at the University of Pittsburgh in partnership with various local organizations.
