Factors contributing to the living arrangements of the aged population are age, sex, and race. A lower proportion of the oldest old population (age 85 and older) are living alone compared to the younger aged persons (age 65 to 74.) Because women live longer than men on average, women are more likely than men to live alone. The ratio of women living alone to men living alone increases with age within the 65 and older population. A higher proportion of aged Whites and Blacks live alone compared to Hispanic persons.
