I'd have to say my neighborhood is more towards the older residents. There aren't many parks or recreational areas for the kids and young adults so they can get up to some trouble sometimes.
Not yo age friendly, some drug abuse, some violence, there's a high number of unemployment, gangs in the area, not too much sanitation to make the area age friendly.
It is a mix of both. Some are kind to the elder residents while others are impatient and rude to them but it works both ways because some of the elderly are also impatient and rude. Overall though people are mostly kind.
It is welcoming to all ages, we live in a quiet neighborhood, close to highway and shopping, walking distance to a park and small zoo. Great area for walking
This area is where I have lived for most of my life and understand the people in the community.
