Recreation habits continue into Retirement



The literature notes that participation in recreation activities as a mature adult will continue into retirement. While the rate may decline, older residents in Massachusetts are attracted to rivers, agricultural lands, trails and greenways.

Using Census data from the 2005-2009 ACS research we get this kind of relationship.

Sorry folks 2010 data at the tract level (or Zip Code) ain't out yet.
