1 2011 Voices of African Americans 50+ in New York: Dreams & Challenges
2 Executive Summary AARP has a strong commitment to help improve the lives of the 50+ population. As part of the Association s continuous communication with its members and all 50+ Americans, AARP commissioned an innovative set of surveys designed to better gather information on the needs, interests and concerns of 50+ Americans both at the national and state level. These random digit dial telephone surveys of over 29,000 adults age 50+ across the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were fielded between January 2 nd and January 31 st. These telephone interviews also included additional list-assisted samples of African-American and Hispanic 50+ adults. The data presented here is based on a sample of New York state African American adults and has a sampling error of 5.5%. 2
3 Executive Summary The survey finds that: About five in ten African American New York adults 50+ say that health care issues are the top problem or challenge facing mid-life and older adults in their state. One quarter cite economic issues as the largest challenge. At a more personal level, adults 50+ say vacation and travel, hobbies, and strengthening their faith or spirituality are what they personally dream about doing next in their lives. Health and financial security are very important in the lives of adults 50+. More than nine in ten say staying healthy, having adequate health insurance, staying mentally sharp, protecting against consumer fraud, Social Security, and Medicare are extremely or very important to them. African American adults 50+ do not have everything they need in order to accomplish their most important goals: Fewer than a third have all they need to stay sharp, stay healthy, maintain adequate health insurance, and spend times with friends and family. Only about two in ten say they have all they need to receive needed Social Security and Medicare and protect themselves from consumer fraud. 3
4 Executive Summary Given current worries about financial, health, transportation, and work issues, half (52%) of all African American New York adults 50+ are not confident that life will be better for their children s generation than it has been for them. Worries about health issues illustrate the importance of finances. About seven in ten worry about having to pay more for health care, financial devastation due to health costs, being unable to pay for a major illness, and staying healthy. About 90 percent of adults 50+ worry about one or more financial issues. Public assistance benefits and maintaining finances and lifestyle in retirement are worries for two-thirds. In the current economy, nearly half (48%) of all African American adults 50+ say they have had at least some difficulty paying their monthly electric utility bill. 4
5 Executive Summary If the economy doesn t improve over the next 12 months, 49 percent of African American New York adults age 50+ say they will delay retirement and work longer. About one in four African American New York adults 50+ do not have access to a bank, pharmacy, grocery store, or park within walking distance. Only one third say they feel extremely or very informed about long-term care services available in their community. 5
